Such beautiful goaties!!! I am dying to get a LaMancha doe and raise some mini-manchas! They are sooo beautiful, with their "no-ears" or "faerie ears".
Lamanchas just steal your heart don't they!
I have loved them since the first time I saw one and that was in a book! LOL
Love all my goaties but the Lamanchas are THE goat.
In the Lamancha world they say "if it's not a lamancha it's just a goat"
I don't agree with that but I still think it is funny! Lamancha owners are definitely "different".
My 14-year-old DD, Kim, has a growing list of all the animals she wants us to add to our little farm. Of course we need nigie does, but we also want at least 1 LaMancha doe, a Nubian doe, and maybe a cow. I say a Dexter, 'cause they're smaller, Kimmy wants a Jersey for the gorgeous face, and DH wants a Holstein, because "nothing says COW like that awesome black and white patterning!"
Of course we want horses (at least 2), a pig or 2 for meat, a couple of Juliannas as pets, ducks, geese, MANY more chickens, including "commercial" layers (to sell the eggs) and meat birds (Cornish X), and a few more chickens as pets for the family. We are currently trying to clear about 2 acres of woods to start building pasture and plant our "orchard" and garden. It's really slow-going, since Kim and I seem to do most of the work. My boys would (understandably) rather work at the farm across town where they get "paid" for their efforts, since somehow fresh, home-grown food doesn't count as pay. I only counts if it's cash in-hand.
