We are located in south-central Kentucky about a half-hour east of Bowling Green where the rolling green hills and a temperate climate create an ideal environment for raising this most American of dairy goat breeds. The present American LaMancha was accepted as a breed for registry on January 27, 1958 with the first true LaMancha being Fay’s Ernie, L-1. Approximately 200 animals were accepted as original stock. Since then, the tiny-eared dairy goats have spread throughout the country and are enjoying a surge in popularity, due largely to their dairy character, adaptability, and, of course, their most well-known feature, or should we say lack of it — no ears. (Reprinted from the Dairy Goat Journal, January 1978 “American LaMancha Club” brochure)
