Congrats.
They look really nice. Very well conditioned both of them.
Have they freshened before?

lamancha love strikes again :D =D

I can picture your son's face!
But I thought it was your DD that wanted the lamanchas?

They both wanted them, he was just more vocal about it...:lol:, her smile was just as big as his! Only reason DH was holding one was because DD had a birthday party to go to yesterday afternoon when we got home! This morning they were both in the pen hand feeding and petting the does(we feed/water them last and change out shoes, etc to make sure we are being cautious until quarantine is over).

They don't make any noise yet....figure once they are able to go hang with our others that might change!!

DH is figuring he will have to make some up grades to the shelter area! He already complains he made it to short height wise :idunnoI don't know-I don't hit my head!

LOL our Lamanchas are quiet. BUT they must get hugs. It is kinda ridiculous sometimes. They have to wrap those long necks around yours and they expect a kiss. :rolleyes:

Not sure if it is the influence of the dogs or if it is just them but they act like dogs. Zephyr is kinda weird- she licks like a dog and she loves water.

we'll have to see if ours do that once they get settled and use to us. Melanie will do that to the kids....of course she thinks she's a lap goat :rolleyes:

Zeph also smells you like a dog, seriously. She is such a weird goat.

You will love them!

I told Southern you will want to make the shelter at least 3x the size it is now. Just sayin'. You may want to go bigger because you know how it goes with goats :gig
