Such a miracle is life! We are entering our favorite time of the year and that’s kidding season!

Soon we will have little kids (baby goats) running a muck on the farm. Combine them with our kids (human) and I can tell you it’s going to be trouble lol!

We have a need of Lamancha dairy goats. We use the milk for our families needs and trade the rest for soap at a local soap shop called Simply Eden, which is located in Eden Utah.

LaMancha, American breed of dairy goat known for its much-reduced external ears. The lineage of LaManchas is uncertain; their relation to goats of the La Mancha region of Spain is not proven.

Lamanchas were developed in the early 20th century on the West Coast of the United States from similarly short-eared goats believed to be descended from goats brought to California by Spanish missionaries.

These goats were bred to several other type of goat breeds, including Nubians and Alpines, until what we now call the American LaMancha breed was developed.

Official recognition by the American Dairy Goat Association came in 1958.

Goat gestation length is about 145–155 days (average is 150 days) and can be affected by breed type of goat, litter size, environment, and parity.

Goat milk is one of the most common type of animal milks in the world. Roughly 65% to 72% of all milk consumed globally is goat milk.

This is in part due to the easiness/size of keeping goats as opposed to large dairy cows in developing countries, where goat milk is an important source of calories, protein, and fats. In some countries, people have a preference for goat milk over cows milk.
