Counter balance (ears)

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 Smile 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. Wink

I like the breed so far and am committed to them. That said I am trying to create a very diverse pack herd.


  • Saanen/Alpines (4-these are my main adult 5 yr old packers)
  • Alpine/Boer (1; 3 yr old)
  • LaMancha (3; 2 kids & one 3 yr old)
  • Alpine/Boer/Ober (1; kid)
  • Alpine/Saanen/Ober (1; kid)
  • Ober (1; kid)

Now if I could add a couple of Kiko hybrid's genetics to the mix...
LOCATION: Top-of-Utah at the South base of Ben Lomond

And everyone thought I was weird adding pink spots to my boys for hunting season! So if this anomaly runs in your herd what kind of kids will I expect to get from whichever one of those bucklings I choose!?
