Twin Mini Mancha Kids
April Fools babies!
Daisy gave birth to two healthy and happy Mini Mancha kids on Monday April 1st, 2024.
One male and one female.
Aren’t they the cutest little things you ever did see?
DOB: 4/1/24
Paris
SOLD!!
Paris has a black nose, and black blaze over her white face. The rest of her body is black and white, and she has wattles.
She has been a bit shy but has definitely warmed up to us over the past couple of weeks and now enjoys scratchies and cuddles every now and again when she sees how much her bro enjoys them 🙂
Mini Mancha does are great for milkers if you like the butterfat of Nigerian Dwarf milk but want to boost up the quantity a bit!
Phoenix (wether)
SOLD!!
DOB: 4/1/24 (April Fools baby!)
Phoenix is a black and white Mini Mancha with wattles and a very sweet boy! He would be a great companion goat, or pet.
He enjoys playing with his pen mates but he LOVES people attention. He will just walk up to us and soak up the love when he's getting scratchies.
Who can say no to cuddles with a guy this handsome?!?

Wattles FAQ
What exactly are goat wattles?
Goat wattles are those funky, hair-covered appendages hanging from the necks of some goats. Think of them as nature's little ornaments! They can appear as one or a pair and are typically found on the throat area. Despite their distinctive look, wattles don't serve a specific purpose—they're just super cute (well, to most of us!).
Are wattles common in all goats?
No, not every goat gets wattles; it's a toss-up! Wattles are a genetic trait, so whether or not a goat has them depends on if their parents had them. It's more like a quirky feature that some goats inherit and others don't.
EX: Willard had wattles, and with Astra - Memphis got wattles but Charlotte did not. However, with Daisy both Paris and Phoenix got wattles.
Do wattles serve any function for goats?
Nope, wattles are all for show! While they might grab your attention, they don’t benefit the goats in any practical way and are purely cosmetic.
Can goats with wattles breed more wattled goats?
Yes, since wattles are genetic, goats with wattles may pass this trait to their offspring. However, it's not a guaranteed pass-down trait—genetics can be pretty random!
Are there any risks associated with wattles in goats?
For the most part, wattles aren't troublesome. However, they can sometimes get caught on things like fences or bushes, which can be a bit of a nuisance or, rarely, lead to injury.
Some very cautious goat owners prefer to keep an eye on their wattled goats to prevent such situations.
