Born: March 20, 2023
Pedigree: https://geneticstest.adga.org/GoatDetail.aspx?RegNumber=L002290378
Description: Rayna joined Heart N Soul Farm in August 2025 as a first freshener. She freshened for the first time in April 2025 at her breeder’s farm, where she was also placed on milk test. According to her breeder, Rayna produced 6.5 lbs in May and 6.9 lbs in July, showing early promise as a productive first freshener.
Long and elegant through the torso, Rayna stands on correct legs, feet, and pasterns, with a wide, level rump and an upright, eye‑catching presence. Her udder is buttery soft and very easy to milk out, with lovely fore udder attachment, rear udder height, and overall balance for a young doe.
In the herd, Rayna carries herself with confident dominance—aware, assertive, and always ready to step forward if cookies are involved. She absolutely melts for head scratches, especially around her eyes.
We’re excited to have Rayna helping us establish our La Mancha herd, and we look forward to watching her continue to mature with her second freshening planned for spring 2026.

Born: March 11, 2024
Pedigree: https://geneticstest.adga.org/GoatDetail.aspx?RegNumber=L002374032
Description: Sapphire joined Heart N Soul Farm as a dry yearling in 2025 and immediately stood out for her elegance and presence. Her breeder describes her as a doe who excels in dairyness and general appearance, with strong open ribbing, correctness in her legs, beautiful rear angulation, and impressive body depth.
Long, lean, and strikingly tall for her age, Sapphire has a refined, leggy frame that hints at the mature doe she’ll become. Her sweet disposition makes her easy to love, and she’s one of the smartest goats in the herd—quick to learn routines and often a step ahead of everyone else. Even as a yearling, she has a size and presence that turn heads.
We’re excited to watch Sapphire freshen for the first time in the spring of 2026 and look forward to seeing how her structure, pedigree, and personality come together as she matures here at Heart N Soul Farm.
Alder Grove Sun and Moon (Sunny)
Born: March 4, 2024
Pedigree: https://geneticstest.adga.org/GoatDetail.aspx?RegNumber=L002382291
Description: Sunny joined Heart N Soul Farm in 2024, and her sweet, gentle nature is a big part of why we fell in love with La Manchas as a breed. She’s a beautiful young doe with an easygoing, friendly personality that wins over everyone she meets. In the herd, she settles comfortably into the middle of the hierarchy, but she naturally stepped into the role of “big sister” when we brought home three La Mancha doelings this past spring—guiding them, comforting them, and helping them adjust to their new home.
Sunny has a playful, goofy streak that never fails to bring out smiles, and she’s the kind of goat who makes daily chores feel lighter. We’ve been a bit remiss in getting proper posed photos of her, but we’re working on that—her straight legs, wide rump, and overall balance deserve to be shown off.
We’re excited to see Sunny freshen for the first time in the spring of 2026 and look forward to watching her continue to grow into her role here at Heart N Soul Farm.
ALDER*ROSE SH QUEEN ALYSANNE (Ally)
Born: February 27, 2025
Pedigree: https://geneticstest.adga.org/GoatDetail.aspx?RegNumber=L002436356
Description: Ally is the most gregarious of all our La Manchas—a true extrovert who wants nothing more than to be wherever you are. Outgoing, affectionate, and endlessly curious, she happily leans in for hugs and melts for ear rubs, making her one of the most interactive and people‑oriented goats on the farm. She earned her dry leg at Barn in the USA in June 2025, a lovely early accomplishment for such a young doe.
Structurally, Ally is impressive for her age. She’s big, bold, and beautifully built, with a wide rump, long legs, and a deep, developing body that hints at the mature doe she’ll become. Her presence is eye‑catching, and she carries herself with the confidence of a doe who knows exactly who she is.
We’re excited to watch Ally continue to grow and develop through 2026 and look forward to seeing how her personality and structure come together as she matures here at Heart N Soul Farm.
ALDER GROVE ON A STARRY NIGHT (Ray Ray)
Born: March 15, 2025
Pedigree: https://geneticstest.adga.org/GoatDetail.aspx?RegNumber=L002436062
Description: Ray Ray came to Heart N Soul Farm because we were so taken with Sunny’s looks and temperament that when her maternal half sister became available, we knew she belonged here too. She’s easily the most introverted of our La Mancha clan, but her quiet nature is paired with an incredibly sweet, soft‑hearted demeanor that makes her a joy to be around.
Structurally, Ray Ray is developing beautifully. We appreciate her length of body, straightness of legs, and the overall balance she’s beginning to show as she grows. She may not demand attention the way some of her herd mates do, but her presence is steady, thoughtful, and endearing in its own way.
We’re excited to watch Ray Ray continue to mature through 2026 and look forward to seeing the lovely doe she grows into here at Heart N Soul Farm.
ALDER*ROSE NIK TRISS (Nikki)
Born: March 25, 2025
Pedigree: https://geneticstest.adga.org/GoatDetail.aspx?RegNumber=L002436357
Description: Nikki’s striking roaning is just the icing on the cake—her real claim to fame is her personality. If any goat in our La Mancha herd deserves the title of herd clown, it’s Nikki. Endlessly curious, bold, and delightfully mischievous, she has fully earned her nickname “Imp.” She keeps us laughing on a daily basis and brings a spark of playful energy wherever she goes.
Though she’s growing more slowly than the other doelings from this past spring, Nikki is developing beautifully. We’re especially pleased with her broad rump and the depth of body she’s already showing at this young age. Her structure hints at a promising future once she fills out and matures.
We’re looking forward to watching Nikki continue to grow through 2026 and can’t wait to see how her personality and conformation come together as she matures here at Heart N Soul Farm.
