The Happy Goat Creamery Milk Goats
All my goats are the Lamancha milk goat breed. Most all of them have a little bit of cross-breeding in their history with other milk breeds. I do not keep registration on them. I have never been a show-animal person so was never able to justify the added expense of registration. I do keep health and milking records because that really doesn't take away from the goat's food money! Be that as it may, I do have some actual purebred registered does in my herd because they are good milkers and were for sale when I needed more milk.
This page showcases some of my favorite nannies past and present.
