The famous question - What breed!

[Tiss]

I have Lamanchas, a Mini-mancha, and Alpines. The mini-mancha's milk is the best though she's harder to milk because she's shorter with small teats. The Lamancha milk is wonderfully creamy too. Sweet girls.

My Alpines are sweet girls and good milkers, but their milk tastes like 2% on my cereal. It's good, it's just not the creamy milk I've been used to. I plan to replace them with Lamanchas or mini-manchas.

My vote is Lamancha or Mini-mancha.

Try Pure Spanish goats. They are a breed of goat that are on the watch list of breeds of goats that are in danger of going extinct. They do really well in the hot dry arid environment of the Southwest. They are very low input goats and tough as nails. They can trace their lineage back to Christopher Columbus and his first exploration of modern day USA.
