We have raised LaManchas since 1994. Our herd has been very competitive in the past couple of years. We attended 8 shows this year, in Texas and Oklahoma. We had the following placings under 8 different judges: 3 Best Doe In Show with two different does, 2 Best Udder of Show with 2 different does, 13 Best of Breed (Lamancha and Recorded Grades) with 5 different does, 15 GCH (Lamancha and Recorded Grade) with 10 different does, 7 RGCH (Lamancha and Recorded Grades) with 6 different does. We had an exceptional year!
We have shown our does at the Spring Fling show in Weatherford, Texas, Oklahoma State Fair in Oklahoma City, Amarillo Tri State Fair, and Tulsa State Fair where we did quite well at all of the shows. We were the PREMIER EXHIBITOR and BREEDER at the 2009 Amarillo Tri State Fair, Oklahoma State Fair and the TULSA State Fair. At this time we have been on official DHIR milk test for the past twelve years and hope to use the Linear Appraisal program again this year.
All of our does are culled according to milk production and the quality of show udders. Each year we will continue to keep our kids on a CAE prevention program. Every kid is taken at birth - every birth is attended! All of our kids are raised on cow colostrum from a Grade A dairy, or colostrum substitute and pasteurized milk. In addition, the entire herd is vaccinated for tetanus and entero, and dewormed regularly.
