Looking definitely better. As a half Boer doe she may be expected to carry a bit more weight than a straight LaMancha. When did she kid last?

My understanding was she kidded twins in Jan 2020. And the previous year with a single.

Do you want kids next year? If so, you can start looking for a buck to breed her to. Breeding season will begin in August or September.

Do you want meat? Breed to a Boer buck for meat kids for sale or your freezer. The kids will be 3/4 Boer and should carry more flesh.
Do you want more milkers? Breed to a dairy buck to produce doe kids for eventual milk production. They will be lighter in bone and flesh so not as meaty. However all goat kids can be eaten. Goat meat is very tasty.
