Calico Lane

Calico Lane is a LaMancha goat breeder in Hawkins, WI, Taylor County and the Northwoods near Wausau. Michael Nagel has been caring for LaMancha goats for over a decade, maintains detailed health records, and follows industry-standard testing protocols.

Set on rolling fields outside town, the farm includes a post-and-beam barn, heated kidding pens, and fenced paddocks for daily turnout.

Calico Lane favors gentle temperament and durable conformation, a result of selective pairing and careful record-keeping. The owner shares practical care guidance and ongoing support for first-time goat keepers. Routine veterinary visits, biosecurity measures, annual milk testing, and body-condition monitoring support overall herd wellbeing and productivity.
