American LaManchas are the only goats native the the US. They were developed in California in the early 1900's by Eula Fay Frey. I am just finishing a children's story about them.

They have a higher butterfat content in their milk making them desireable for cheesemaking. We made a lot of cheese in our time!

I have had Nubiens, Alpines, LaManchas & Grades and I thing the LaManchas have the nicest personality. They are very mellow.

If you go out to check on them at night they pop their heads up and their eyes glow green when light hits them so it looks like you have a yard full of aliens!
