Meet Our Goats - The Series



Matrix Compound is home to a beautiful herd of LaMancha and LaMancha/Cross dairy goats. All of our goats are registered/recorded with the American Dairy Goat Association (http://www.adga.org/) and we rarely will sell a goat without registration.

I plan to start a series featuring each of our amazing goats. It will take a bit for Al and me to coordinate getting "showy" pictures that I can blog about. We currently have six does (females) in milk and six young doelings to freshen next year. We have more bucks than I care to admit but there are plans to use them all this year on one girl or the other.

We plan our breedings (remember I bore people with pedigrees :-)) and separate does into pens and add in a buck in order to pen breed around the middle of November. Since goats have a 5 month gestations, we like to start kidding mid-April.

Stay tuned as we begin to introduce the girls and boys of the Matrix Compound goat herd.
