A.  aA preliminary evaluation of growth and carcass traits in Alpine and Boer goat crosses.h[electronic resource]  c1998  aBirth weights of Boer (BO) sired kids were 9% higher than Alpine (AL) sired kids. Weaning, 160?d weight and preweaning average daily gain (ADG) were similar for the AL?×?AL, AL?×?SA and BO?×?AL. Breed of dam was significant (P?&lt?0.02) for birth, weaning, 100-d weight, and preweaning ADG. Similar dressing percentage (DP) and ribeye muscle area (REA) were observed among AL?×?AL, AL?×?SP, and BO?×?SP crosses.
