Two of the goats pictured have ears. The lack of external ears is the LaMancha breed's most prominent and famous breed characteristic. The breed isn't allowed to have even so much as little flaps so I'm wondering if two of the goats pictured aren't the ones you're selling, or if someone told you wrong about their breeding. They can't be LaManchas and have ears. 
Of course, the best thing about packgoats is that they don't have to conform to any breed standards in order to be great packers! If someone sold you "LaManchas" that turned out to be Alpines or some kind of cross, that's perfectly fine if they're good on the trail! Seven years is a very nice age. I hope you find a great home for them! I've had a couple of people ask me about mature packgoats lately and I told them to keep an eye on these forums.
