Warning - Long Post - Herd Dispersal
Welcome to 2025. I figured the new year was the best time to update everyone on how things are going, and where they are going.
1. I successfully dove into AI which I have never really utilized with my LaManchas.
I'm pleased to announce that I had 5/6 AI's settle! (beginners luck I'm sure, but also the mentorship of my dear friend Danni)
GCH Goat-San Blackbird x Vineyard View Kane Yowzers

2. My website is out of date and I do not foresee a time when I'll feel like updating it. The current breedings beyond the AI's are listed below. I am not providing the planned pedigree in order to keep this post shorter, but the names are exact and can be looked up easily.
Mature Does
GCH Goat-San Abbey Road x Goat-San KH Khaptain Khirk
Goat-San Jillybean x Goat-San KH Khaptain Khirk
Goat-San Cannoli x Goat-San KH Khaptain Khirk

Goat-San Her Majesty x Goat-San Creme De La Creme
Goat-San Chai Tea x Goat-San Fenugreek
3. Due to finances (or lack thereof) I will be dispersing the majority of the LaMancha herd in the spring after they kid. Reasonably priced to move. I can provide 2024 pictures of most.
ALL Lamanchas listed in #1 and #2 are now up for discussion with the exception of Abbey, Blackbird, Lucy, Cannoli, Aleppo.
Nearly ALL 2025 kids will be available also.
4. As most of you know I also board and manage the Shining-Moon Alpines for my good friends Grant and Micki Colfax. They will remain the majority of my herd following the LaMancha dispersal. They do not have a website either, but if you are interested in an Alpine from us, please reach out here to ask.
5. Since I try to keep my goat stuff here and not on my personal page, I am also announcing that my ADGA Board of Director term is up this year, and I will not be seeking re-election. I look forward to a new face on the board. I have mostly enjoyed the last 10 years (Yes, 10) and have been proud of my contributions. I plan to still be active in ADGA through committee work.
Happy New Year, Happy New Me.
