Lamancha Buck Nubian Doe will there be ears?

[freemotion]

My La Mancha/Nubian doe has similar ears as DKRabbitry's. She is a ff this year and amazingly easy to milk. She's a keeper! Her babies (Alpine buck) were...two with ears and one without. Her sister, La Mancha/Alpine cross, had a single buckling w/o ears. Four kids, two with and two w/o ears.

Here's what Flo's ears look like - she's 75% Alpine, 25% LaMancha and has upturned elf ears. Her twin sister had Alpine ears.

What an absolutely beautiful face. The elf ears are cute. And am really glad this thread was started. I have to admit I thought Lamancha's looked odd. Sorry. But the more and more I see them (please keep showing them off) the more I see the GOAT, not just the lack of ears. Thanks for sharing.

has anyone bred a Nubian Doe to a LM Buck? All these pics are so cute.....

This reminds me of when my beagle bred my lab and the vet gave me one guarantee on their traits and appearance.

" I promise four legs and a tail, beyond that, no clue".

Here is my part Nubian doe with her daughter, the product of a full La Mancha buck:

Here they both are this past spring, gestating in the only patch of ground finally free of spring mud:

And here are the offspring of the half La Mancha doe in the above photos, bred to an Alpine buck....note the little elf-eared doeling:

That 's so neat. Beautiful babies by the way. Love the little one with the elfin ears like her mother. Amazing how genetic works. Thanks for showing us through your photos how it works.

Also love the 2nd picture of Mom and Daughter.

So happy to see this thread! I have a nubian doe that I was considering breeding to a friends LM buck. I think I would like the combination!

I have a nubian that i might breed with a Lamancha Buck.... think I would get the same results?
