Lamancha vs Nubian whats the difference ?

[Bedste]

I have a new Lamancha goat in milk. She is beautiful. Other than the elf like ears is there any other differences? Is the milk the same? Do they all have teats that are more challenging to milk?

Milk from a Nubian is usually higher in butterfat. Good udder and teats should be about the same in any goat.

thanks. I have never seen teats so much like water balloons that you cant get ahold of. Very hard to milk.

Teats are biased on genetics not breed there are bad teats in all breeds

Nubians are known for higher butterfat then the other dairy breeds Lamanches are second to them but genetics also play a big part as there can be low butterfat nubians


Basically genes are what decide how any given doe turns out

I had both Nubian and LaMancha's milk. Lamancha's is a little milder than Nubian but both are good. Personality wise, I think Lamancha is mellower and easier going and quieter. Nubian is cute with the floppy ears and Lamancha was once described to be as a dinosaur looking goat which I think is a pretty cool description.

this helps a bunch thank you... so would it be ok to mix their milk before freezing it or drinking it?

As long as no one has mastitis or anything, sure. I always mix my goats milk together.

LaManchas are an abnormally quiet breed of goat, while Nubians are abnormally noisy. I had LaManchas for many years and the fun part was holding a baby LaMancha in my lap and having people ask me 'what breed of dog is that?'
