NFHR & KFPS horses: We are producing NFHR foals to sell annually & sometimes sell mares. We plan to produce KFPS foals, with plans on keeping our first filly, but selling colts and fillies after that. We focus on movement, temperment, versatility, color genetics (NFHR, BLACK KFPS) when we can get it and staying close to European imports because of the rigorous testing and modern breeding programs they use to be approved translating into helping us meet our above goals to retain the traits that each breed is esteemed for.
Fir Meadow LaManchas started in 1999 as a home dairy project. Barely had I acquired my first ladies when Don and Judi Hoy fed my goat habit by taking me to a show (thank-you Don and Judi and John for everything you have done over the years to improve our herd!). The rest is history as they say.
We have had goats more than two decades (still have some pets) and I've had horses since 1974 starting with a grade dun pony, then arabians, paints and since 2009 Fjords. The alpacas also found us in 2010. |
