Mini LaManchas
Small Goats are Great!
Though we originally disliked the idea of cross breeding standard size dairy goats to Nigerian Dwarves we quickly changed our minds when we had one of these little wonders enter our lives. Our minis are not registered and we do not keep more than one or two at this time but we highly value them in our herd for their very high butterfat milk, temperment, and managable size. They make excellent goats to take to pre-schools and camps when we do dairy goat programs. Special Note: all mini LaManchas born next spring will be selling for $25 each if sold BEFORE weaning, after they are weaned they will be sold for $50-75 each.
Appleberry Cove Elsie 3/31/07
Sire: Dancing Goat Farm Tibet (Nigerian)
Dam: Listening-Eagle Lydia (LaMancha)
Lydia came to us bred to Tibet. She kidded with twin does and they were just too cute to sell both of them. So we picked out Elsie. She is just too cute! Elsie has stayed really small and has a wonderful and affectionate personality. These little goats are just winning us over. She has freshened with a very nice little udder, almost exactly like Lydia's in a miniature form and is giving approximately 1 1/2 quarts of milk a day at two weeks fresh.
Udder picture coming soon!
Elsie has been bred to Footloose (ND) and is due march 11th. All kids will be available for sale.
