Very cute "Fighting goats!" Good looking boys.
I will admit the LaMancha look took me a while to warm up to...at first we called them "snake heads". With 3 purebreds...we have obviously overcome the earless aversion. LOL
EVERYONE ask what happened to their ears & if they froze off last winter. With 2 being this springs kids I can't believe they ask that. My main response is that we cut their ears because they are our fighting goats. Most say, "Hmmm...ok" and totally accept it.
A very few say..."Really?!?"
To which I respond, "Um...yeah...no."
To which they then slowly smile.
I like the breed so far and am committed to them. That said I am trying to create a very diverse pack herd.
Now if I could add a couple of Kiko hybrid's genetics to the mix...
