We have had a lot of requests from people who want to come and witness a birth. We are fortunate to have breeding dates for most of our goats and we can calculate approximate kidding dates. If you would like to come and witness a birth, we will happily welcome you into our barn. Birth is messy, so we ask that you bring barn clothes. While you may not help with the actual delivery, we are happy to place a wet and wiggling baby goat in your arms for you to dry off and help feed it’s first (second, third…) bottle.
We have just finished our breeding for 2012. We will be confirming pregnancies on Sunday November 12, by ultrasounds. The ultrasounds will be done by our good friends Tony and Barb Gerstner, who milk goats commercially.
Right now, it looks like we will start kidding on February 5th. We should have about 6 does due on or around the 17th of February. A few more should kid the next week, and our final kiddings will be around the 10th of March thru the 13th.
Just a note: Goats can deliver 5 days on either side of these dates.
2 am delivery!

Hello,
My name is Barbara Harrington. I live in Braham, MN. I have been wanting goats for a long time now. After a lot of thought I have settled on Nigerians as my breed of choice. I was thinking LaManchas, but I think the mini size along with the wonderful dairy quality of the Nigerians would be ideal for my needs.
I would like to talk to you about buying a doeling and a wether, or if I can afford it, 2 doelings. I have never had goats before, but have done extensive reading and research on the subject. I have had horses, cattle, and presently I have poultry and show dogs.
I am looking for goats for milk, of course. I’m not really interested in showing at this time, but that could very easily change in the future. I show dogs, along with my granddaughter. I can see that unlike dogs, buying a good show quality goat is directly related to the function of the animal. With dogs, the best show winner is usually not related to the actual working usefulness of the dog. I have a Champion mini dachshund who is a wonderful show dog, but couldn’t track a rabbit if his life depended on it. : )
I would like to start with kids, because I really want the full experience of raising the babies. I’m hoping I could arrange to have it bred by you when the time comes, and then start the kidding and milking next year when she freshens. Or possibly a doeling and an older doe?
I have grandchildren who will just adore raising the babies just as much as I will. I don’t think we will be needing a lot of milk, but just enough for the family, for making soap, and maybe cheese.
It would be wonderful if you could call or email me sometime, so we could get together and talk about this. I do have the money for a kid resevation.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Barbara

When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather. Peacefully, and in my sleep. Not hysterical and screaming, like the passengers in his car…
I have a smaller size LaMancha for sale. She is a 2 year old and bred for June babies. She is a sweetie, but I need to cut my numbers. Give me a call. Cindy

We are interested in buying two young goats, preferrably LaMancha goats. We are looking for wethers. We would like to raise them as pets so are looking for goats with friendly personalities. We live in southeast Wisconsin. Would you have goats available or could you recommend a good source? Any help you can offer will be appreciated!!
Hi Lisa, I may have some LaMancha wethers for sale. I have all doe’s right now, but I have one freshening soon. I also have some other wethers available. Give us a call.
