RE: Counter balance (ears) - TOU - 06-24-2014
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
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.
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...

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!?

Probably ones that like to nibble on your ears like my Clancy does.

... we do tend to make ear nibblers

That should fit right in with my hair chewers. I will probably have a shag hair style by the time the itty-bitties grow out of this phase!
