They all had elf ears. We also had Nubians and if they were annoyed with one of the Nubians they would sneakily reach over and nip her ear! Then pretend as if it wasn't them! LOL I miss them. The babies were so adorable with out any ears. If you examine a LaMancha ear you will see that they have a lot of stiff bristle hairs inside to protect the ear canal from bugs. Other goats have no bristles in the canal because they have ears. When the kids showed at the fair and people asked why they didn't have ears the boys would say that we harvested them and sold them to make the "Fresh Roasted Ears" being sold on the fairgrounds. LOL they thought it was hysterical. We had all kinds of educational displays on our stalls talking about LaMancha ears but the people would still ask! My favorite LaMancha color is the black with tan markings. What is yours?

I really love tri-colored goats. :D =D And I LOVE the Lamancha's that are tan with a black dorsal stripe, and black legs.

We just got three new cows! :ya Sasha, who is a four year old 1/2 Normande 1/2 Jersey cow, Ruby, who is a two year old 3/4 Jersey 1/4 Normande cow, and Ruby's unnamed heifer, who is five months old, but is smaller than our two and half month old bull calf. She is TINY! I will post pictures of them when I have time.
