'Mae' is an American Lamancha Goat. Being totally unfamiliar with this breed, a little 'Googling' was in order, and according to what I discovered; Lamanchas are perhaps the most distinctive goat breed easily recognizable by their very short ear pannae. They are also known for their high milk production and comparatively high buttermilk content in their milk. Lamanchas were first bred in Oregon in the early 1950's by Eula Fay Frey.

'Ere 'ere where are your ears?"

I'm Back from my 3 days off and what a find. a no ear goat. very intersting and cute as pie
'ears to you, Sunny. Have a wonderful visit!!!
What a lovely girl! I love goats; had a sweet little girl goat that followed me around like a puppy and would even try to get in your lap.
Well - that's ineresting. I thought when I first looked at this photo, that his ears had gotten frozen.
How strange. They look as if they have suffered from a bit of an accident - clipping shears a bit too close to the ears.
I too thought the ears had gone with the shears... Poor little coat, I'm being very rude about him/her.
What a funny looking goat!!! lol I'm so glad you get to have time with your son. I hope you have a wonderful day/week together! Blessings to you, sweet Sunny!
Mae is certainly cute, even though she does appear to have no ears.
I hope you have a great visit with your son.
un peu punk cette chevre ;O)
Can you hear me now? Ha ha!
Have fun with your son!
Mae is a very photogenic goat Sunny, and an interesting one at that.

HI Sunny, I have never seen that type of goat before. I thought at first he had lost his ear.....
What a cutie.
Enjoy your son's visit.

What an unusual looking goat. Ears, short ears or no ears he sure is cute.
Adorable goat! Enjoy your visit with your son. Definitely the time for a vacation from blogging/commenting!!!
Where do you find these unique animals, Sunny. Love the goat. Have a wonderful time with your son. Hear you when I'm back in South Africa. Blessings and hugs Jo
Nice one Sunny, never seena goat like this before!
I don't think I have heard of this goat before. We have people who raise a lot of goats north of town and sell cheese everywhere. I will have to look up the web site and share it. I have never been out there.
