American LaMancha goat
Lamancha goats are perhaps the most distinctive goat breed, easily recognizable by their very short ear pinnae. They are also known for their high milk production, and the comparatively high butterfat content in their milk.
The short-eared American Lamanchas first gained recognition as a distinct breed in the early 1950s, and the breed was registered formally on January 27, 1958 as "Lamancha" or "American Lamancha" goats.
The domestic goat is a subspecies of goat domesticated from the wild goat of southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the family Bovidae and is closely related to the sheep as both are in the goat-antelope subfamily Caprinae.
