Ruth

Ruth was added to the farm when we decided to add a few standard sized dairy goats to the herd.  We decided on LaManchas for their hardiness and easy going temperament.  Ruth has not disappointed!  We breed her to our Nigerian Dwarf bucks for “Mini Manchas” with hopes of the ultimate homestead milker.  A hardy goat of good size with great milking capabilities but the butterfat of a Nigerian Dwarf.  

Ruth freshened for the first time in 2021 and although we did not milk her to full capacity (we needed a bigger milking stand!), it was clear she was going to be a great addition to the homestead.  We have loved the low maintenance of these does and look forward to the future with LaManchas on the farm.
