I swore I'd never...

Oh, sorry! I missed the tagging question. We don't tag any of our goats, just tattoo. Like Ariel said- the tattoo goes on the tail webbing.

Yes, the dark side... Bwahahahaha!

Ducks have webbing on their feet..... Is this a water goat with some type of tail propeller ?

Hey, what'dya do, cut that there goat's ears off????

Did they freeze off?

Will they grow back?



Just preparing you for future questions...
Congrats. I still haven't gotten past 'no ears' and I had an LM briefly...but I'm happy for ya!

My neighbor has Lamanchas and Nubians-when my son saw them, he just kept staring at the ones with no ears and though he was too polite to say anythin, I am sure he was wondering what happened to them.

We couldn't afford a livestock guardian dog so we trimmed the ears off a couple of our goats. We call them Doberman Attack Goats.

As a puppy:

Scary, huh?

As for Malibu she's so sleek and svelte you should make her full name Malibu Barbie. For some reason the ear thing bothers me more in pictures than IRL.

What kind of milk characteristics do you find LMs have?

This is our first LaMancha, but her dam is a 3*M doe and has produced two SGCH daughters. The breeder expects her to milk around 6-7 lbs per day as a first freshener. I believe she said the maternal half-sister they own milks around 12 lbs per day.

Wow I did not know there was goats with no ears. Beautiful.
