Herd Master
These are likely ridiculous questions. I'm rolling around the thought of keeping a La Mancha or two in with my herd. I still can't figure out if I find them adorable or attrocious looking. I think I like the elf ears best, the entirely missing ears is just... weird to me, acceptable breed standard or not!
Anyway, I have a couple questions I'm asking for people's experience on. I was initially thinking the small ears would be very cold hardy, but I have small ears and they are NOT cold hardy at all. Is there a higher risk with frostbite on their ears than say, a boer's?
How are the bucks for meat? Are they poor yeilding or do they deliver a worthwhile carcass?
There may be more questions as we get into the hands on experience with the Manchas.
