OK how can you get him to reach her.

Kidding. Anyways, I would hand breed on a hill....lol!

You could back her up to a bale and have him stand on the bale. My neighbor built a ramp for his pony to reach his QH mares.

A ditch to stand her in

My 5 month old ND buck can almost reach my yearling Nubian. Your LaMancha most likely won't get pregnant anyway, they are strictly seasonal breeders. I think tonight I will get the teensy dude on a straw bale.

When I had my Nigerian buck breed a full size dairy goat, I backed her up to a hay bale and the buck got on the hay bale. Worked like a charm.

While Dairy breeds are seasonal breeder, there are some off season breeder, or the option of inducing heat and ovulation.

Oh, thought that was just Nubians. My Nubian is in heat right now, in fact.

 

[Little-Bits-N-Pieces]

Yep, all dairy breeds are normally strict seasonal breeders, they normally only come in heat from August to February, although some do have off season cycles. This applies to Alpine, Saanen, Nubian, LaMancha, Toggenburg, Oberhasli, and Sable (a Saanen with other color).
Meat breeds cycle year round.

Normally if you wanted to breed a dairy goat this time of year, you would have to induce estrus. The main concern when a dairy goat cycles off season is cystic ovaries, but that is not always the case.
