Escape artists with personality — never keep one alone.
Quick answer: LaMancha is a variety of goats. Everything on this page is goats-level guidance — we do not invent variety-specific numbers.
The care below is goats-level guidance from our species hub, sourced to Merck Veterinary Manual — Goat Owners and RSPCA — Goat advice. It applies to LaMancha exactly as it applies to every other goats variety. We do not publish variety-specific temperament, lifespan or weight numbers that we cannot source.
Diet: browse, hay and the copper question
The base is good grass-alfalfa hay (dairy does in milk get alfalfa) plus browse time — brush, weeds, brambles. Contrary to folklore, goats should not eat tin cans; they explore with their mouths. Free-choice loose goat mineral with copper is essential (sheep minerals lack the copper goats require — do not share). Grain only for milkers in production or thin animals. Never feed: azaleas, rhododendron, oleander, wilted cherry leaves — small amounts kill. Clean water and salt block complete the board.
Health: hooves, parasites and the emergency list
Trim hooves every 6–8 weeks (a goat that walks on its heels is overdue). Parasites are the chronic battle: fecal egg counts guide deworming, and anemia (pale inner eyelids — learn the FAMACHA eye check) signals barber-pole worm urgency. Watch for bloat (left flank ballooning after a feed change), urinary calculi in wethers fed too much grain (straining to urinate is an emergency), and pregnancy toxemia in overgrain-fed pregnant does. A goat-savvy vet on speed dial is part of the fence budget.
