We were looking for a goat to be my Angora's companion when we moved to a rental where we can have him (currently he is staying at a neighbor's with their goats). So, I was thinking I wanted a milk goat so I could make kefir for myself and the chickens since I want to make my own diet for the chickens and I'm diabetic and can't have straight milk (the kefir eats most of the sugar in the milk). I really wanted a LaMancha since they produce quite a bit of milk and have good cream content in their milk and they are so darn cute. 
Well, we found her yesterday. She is 2 yrs old and all light brown except for a white stripe down her nose. She is 3 months pregnant and such a sweety. She was bred last year, but kidded in the middle of winter when they were gone and her kids died before they got home because of the cold.
So, she kidded fine by herself, which is good so this will be her first time freshening. I'm hoping she will be an easy milker, I will need to handle her a lot before the kids come. I think we are helping this guy out though, seems like his wife is an animal collector and he's trying to sell what he can. It's not stinky and they are well taken care of, but they have way too many animals.
I'm so excited!!!!!! Yay!
We're going to have baby goats soon.

), but eventually she got the hang of it, and she is now a really quick, easy milker. Almost like turning on a tap.
