Thanks so much for your interest in our LaMancha herd. We have tried to include all pertinent information on each doe but if you have any questions or need additional information, please don't hesitate to give us a call.  A health certificate (certificate of veterinary inspection is usually $30)  as well as any additional health tests and shipping costs including a carrier are the responsibility of the buyer and must be paid prior to shipping. We charge an additional $50 delivery fee to the airport as we ship out of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport which is a 7+ hour round trip.

    Kids are raised on a strict CAE-prevention program and have been since 1988. Our herd was tested negative for CAE in the past but we will continue to raise our kids on heat-treated colostrum and pasteurized goat's milk. Our most current CAE herd test was in January 2008 and was negative.

    Kids receive free choice alfalfa-mix hay and water as well as a starter grain with a coccidiastat in it. We are on a regular vaccination program using Triangle 9 as well as Essential 3+T and Case-Bac vaccines. Animals receive annual BoSe shots and are wormed as needed. We feed a 17% mixed grain ration to the milking herd. Free choice salt and minerals are available to all.

    2007 was a busy and productive year for our herd. We were able to show at several large shows under 8 different judges. We finished 3 of our bucks and picked up legs on another one. We also earned several dry legs on young does. We finished our first year back on DHIR test with a RHA of 2422M, 103F and 80P, and our linear appraisal session yielded even more EX animals. Scores are updated throughout our site.

    We ask for a $100 deposit to reserve kids. This is non-refundable if you cancel your order. If the kid you have chosen is not born or is not acceptable for us to sell, we will refund your deposit or allow you to choose another kid. While we will accept a deposit on a buck kid out of a first freshener, we will make the final decision on that sale after the doe has freshened. We will contact you as soon as possible after your kid is born and prefer that you pick it up or make arrangements for shipping within one month, unless prior arrangements have been made. If you plan to have your kid shipped by air, please make arrangements to send a 300 or 400 airline approved carrier as soon as you are notified. The balance of the payment is expected within 2 weeks after the birth of the kid or it will be offered to someone else. As always, we reserve the right to retain any kid born on the farm so please indicate a 2nd and 3rd choice kid when you send your deposit.

    We normally plan to retain a first kid out of the majority of our does unless we are contacted about them. Please feel free to email us if you see a particular kid you want. Prices for kids are listed on each doe's page .

    In order to maintain our herd size, we will have a large group of milking yearlings and/or 2 year olds for sale this spring. Mature animals must be picked up at the farm. Contact us for additional info and prices or to reserve a mature doe.

    If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us. Visitors are always welcome, but please let us know ahead of time. The best time to call us is between 6:00 and 8:00 pm CST. Please leave a message if we are not available or feel free to E-mail us. Again, thanks so much for visiting with us.
