Why Lamancha?
The sweetest treat
Oh, how wonderful Lamanchas are. Sweet, affectionate, loving, snuggly, and physical, this is the breed that we reach for first when we want a goat who truly wants to be with us.
What are they like?
If you picture yourself drifting through the forest in a long skirt and a flower crown, with a goat by your side, Lamanchas are for you. They are soft, moony, very attached to their people, and up for anything you want to do. They’re the best backpacking and hiking companions out there, and they seem to have an invisible leash attached – get more than a few feet away from them, and a Lamancha will suddenly be at your knee asking where you’re going and if they can come.
milk quality
Lamancha milk production is characterized by long, level lactations. You don’t get the multiple gallons a day that a Saanen will give you at peak, but they’ll keep giving you that daily gallon for week after week, month after month, and even year after year. Many Lamanchas will produce milk pretty much as long as you want them to; 1000-day lactations are not uncommon.
