Jupiter was my first registered Miniature LaMancha, bred by Nehi Minis, a long-time Miniature Lamancha herd in Arkansas. He is a sweet, quiet buck, very easy to handle for the most part. I like his overall appearance, especially his angularity and body length. I personally love his bone, too, as I want a stockier dairy animal. The mammary systems in his paternal line and of his littermate sister and dam are excellent, and his littermate sister has been on a very extended lactation. I would like to see a more level rump and this has been hit or miss on his daughters.
​
He's matured into a big boy - 170lb in good condition - and near the top of the height standard.
His first daughters in my herd freshened in 2021 and did not disappoint. My does are all unrelated (and not uniform in terms of style!) but he improved each udder in their daughters, especially rear attachment, overall shape, and teat placement.
He's done well in the MDGA virtual shows, including a Grand Champion SR LaMancha title and three reserve championships (including the Fall '19 show). He earned a reserve champion in the spring 2023 v-show as the oldest miniature LaMancha buck in the show. He was a single entry in the aged buck class in the Spring 2024 show. He's aging very well, and I hope his genetics lend to longevity in his daughters.

I sold Duke in the winter of 2022 because I'd basically backed myself into a corner as far as breeding - most of my does were too related to use him on. I hope he's doing great in his new home!
He is a super sweet, friendly boy, the first to come see you. It was one of the things that made me choose him as a baby. He has some lovely mammaries behind him and it looks like he's going to have daughters with nice udders. He helped improve some hocking in, too. Nice and wide between the hocks, nice rib spring, tight shoulders, and rump length. While his hooves were nice and solid, his pasterns were a bit too angled, as was his rump. Now that his daughters have freshened (2023) and on test, can say he's improved udders and production! One daughter has peaked at over 6lb and another at over 5lb, and all have been very milkable.
Update - the Duke daughters I've kept have leveled out in the rumps tremendously. He sired my first star milker - Hefty Goat Holler Pearl *P!
Always super-healthy boy and low maintenance - honestly, most of my bucks are.
2024 - Duke returns! The home he went to for a couple years took AMAZING care of him and I was so happy to have a chance to get him back this summer.

Flash is co-owned with GoGo's herd and came to the farm in fall 2024 when she needed to drastically reduce buck numbers. Flash has sired some lovely daughters previously, including Two Girls Ladybug and GoGo's BoFl That Jazzy. As of 2025, I've just used him one doe but he sired to thick yet dairy kids by Calypso. Lots of escutcheon height on both of them, especially, and good feet and legs.
He's an incredibly sweet buck that loves cheek rubs. He's easy to handle, even in rut.
I don't think pictures do him justice! He's a super solid boy with excellent bone, feet and legs, and lots of body capacity. All photos without the HGF watermark are courtesy of Regina Tervo of GoGo's.
