Anyone raising LaManchas in TN or states nearby?

[cybercat]

Hello again,

How is everyone doing? Looking forward to seeing babies hit the ground. I am so watching mail box for tax stuff so we can finish the fence. Looks like my plans have change for the goats. I will probably be getting more does due to us fostering kids. So please keep me posted on birthings local.

BTW I know of 3 other LM breeders in East Tn. 1 lives in Morristown 1 in Chuckey and 1 lives near Strawberry Plains. All 3 show and all 3 have more than one breed. I have contact only with 1 of them and that is thru my East Tn homesteading group. Is anyone here on the East Tn Goat geoup that meets 4x a year? I have info if anyone is interested.

Hey Tamara! You must be talking about Rene in Strawberry Plains. She is amazing and such a wonderful person! One of my new girls came from her a couple of weeks ago! And Mark (in Morristown) is absolutely wonderful too! My other new doe is from him and also 2 of my orginal does are out of some of his does. I was so excited to get to meet both of them, they are great people! I'm anxious for the shows to start this year, I have so much to learn from both of them!

We drew blood today to mail out to biotracking to see if the gals are preggo or not. I think/hope that 2 are 3 months and one is less than a month. She has not come back into heat yet so hopefully she is bred. I'm also having everyone tested for CAE too.

We just closed on our house on Monday so now we are in the process of packing everything and moving. What a chore it is to move all of our stuff plus all of our animals!! So if I am MIA for a little while that's why! Hope everyone is doing well!

Congrats on the house. Yes, it is Rene I have known her for a few years. I will probably getting bottle baby steers from her later this year . On a good note house tax stuff came in. Now we need hubbies w2's, then fence gets done.

Oh! They are so stinking cute! Love their little faces! Did I read right in the other thread that you are going to retain the swiss colored one? They are beautiful! How far are you from the Chattanooga area? I'll be there in about a week and a half...

Becky - Hi!

Cara - I saw that you have new babies! How are they doing now? They are too cute!

How is everyone else doing? My first two girls are due within the next month! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! Daisy is tricking me still, don't know if she is due March 17 or April 17. I think April and then she does something that make me say, Hmmm... Anyhow, here is a link to the kidding thread: http://www.backyardherds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=17807

I'm in Arkansas. I have a purebred mini-lamancha buck. I know he's not what you are looking for, but I do love the breed. They are wonderful sweet animals. Great temperament. Easy going, good milkers. I also have a half and half doe. She's a Nigerian Dwarf, La Mancha cross.

Here's Fred and Ethel's Farm's first kid of the year. She's out of a FF mom and first time stud dad. Looks to me like they got it right...and, yes, on the first try on her first ever heat. I'd say great things are to come for us! Looking at 2, maybe 3 more does to freshen this season, so we'll see what we get. As of now, this adorable face is FOR SALE!

We're in WV, and we raise only LaManchas.
