A lot of people call La Mancha goats as the goat without any ears, but they do have ears. They are just very tiny. I took some pictures of Peppermint Patty so you can see. I admit I love look of the long, full ears of the Nubians. However, Peppermint Patty's ears do not get as scratched up when browsing like the Nubians do. The La Mancha gives a lot of milk and is a great dairy breed to have when you desire all of the health benefits of milk. Goat's milk is even very healthy for the heart and is recommended for people who have heart disease!
