Here at KNS Farm our goal is a goat that has a great temperament, is beautiful to look at, and productive with a high, tightly attached udder. Though we primarily work with La Mancha goats, we also have other breeds and have no compunctions against intelligently crossing different breeds together to achieve our goal. For us, the goat itself is important, and we breed for ourselves first and foremost.

Personality and temperament are incredibly important to us - we love a friendly, sociable goat. We also favor goats with high levels of intelligence; though they may cause more mischief, they are incredibly rewarding animals to befriend.

A good looking goat is a goat that is built correctly! A well balanced dairy goat will live longer, have a healthier life, and give birth easier, which is especially important. A well attached udder will also lend itself to a longer productive life of the animal, and our standards for them are high.

We started with Nigerian Dwarf goats, but later the La Mancha goats truly stole our heart. Though we enjoy outcrossing, the ideal goat for us is medium sized, has gopher ears, and balanced dairy character.
