Tangled Vine Farm is happily situated on the Central Coast of California in the heart of wine grape country. We enjoy panoramic views from our ten acre hill top home 15 miles east of Paso Robles, California USA. We offer ADGA registered LaMancha dairy goats.
We have been raising goats since 1993 and started showing our purebred Lamanchas and grades in 2000. We usually keep 10 does and 1-2 bucks.
Currently "Waldmeister" is for sale $300 obo.
The goats listed on this site are not all still on our farm but are still shown for reference and comparison. Check out some of our pedigrees!
I'm a poorman's goat snob.
The way I decide who to keep in the herd is based on a variety of factors. I am generally swayed by pedigrees for a year or so. I take into consideration how many years a doe might have left and how may animals I have secreted away a famous relative or two into thier pedigree. I think about how much I like the goat or how much it represents the famous Lamancha disposition and how quiet it is. (Thats a biggie! If I wanted desperate- loud screaming at all hours I would choose a different breed.
What it comes down to is wether or not I enjoy looking at the goat in question. If for any reason I feel displeasure with one of my goats I try to pinpoint the source. I study award winning animal's photographs and read all the blurbs about ideal structure. Usually it's a fault I've ignored due to the reasons I mentioned above. That's why I only have 4 does left.
I think my standard is becoming elevated and I don't mind at all.
