Hi all, my name is Sarah. We have had goats for many years. We raise lamancha, lamancha cross and just added Sables to our breeds. I heard that this was a great forum from a moderator (SweetGoats) and I decided to check it out. We just finished kidding last week and are currently milking 4 of our goats. We show, sell herd shares, make cheese, and ice cream. Have a great day everyone! Please feel free to visit our website www.mandllamanchas.com Sarah
Hey Sarah, So glad to see you made it here. I promise you will like it here a Lot more the the other place :laugh: Hey are you all by any chance coming to our Prospect show June 5th? we added dairy goats this year.
Hi And welcome to the group! I raise LaManchas to ;-). This is a pretty good forum-lots of useful information can be found to.
Welcome from PA Sarah!! Glad to have you join us! I have the "smaller scale milk machines"...Nigerian Dwarf and Pygmy/Dwarf crosses...I too make cheese and ice cream from the bounty my girls give me!
Thanks everyone for the welcome. Sweetgoats I am sure I will like this place more than the other place. My daughter is running a road race with her track and cross country coach that morning of your show. We wanted to haul a few goats down along with her market lambs and make a day of it, but we already paid for the road race. I will definately post more and will get on my regular computer so I can use some of those awesome smileys! Lol
Wish ya could come to our show here in Idaho this weekend. It is a LaMancha specialty show+the other breeds. 4 ring for ADGA registered goats and 3 rings for the minis.
Btw Briana, we have a lot of the same bloodlines. Our buck is out of Huricane-PM SFTC Jeronimo and South Fork TT Calee. We love the kids he produced this year, 3 of them staying bucks and being sold as bucks, one 75% lamancha doeling earned her dry leg at a goat show in April at 6 1/2 weeks old. We are keeping 1 of his daughters in our herd, she is a Moonglow/South Fork/ Huricane, plus cuter than anything.
