Emerald City LaManchas

Emerald City LaManchas, LaMancha goats, Hampton, MN, Dakota County and the Twin Cities near Minneapolis. Diana Rico has been raising LaManchas for several years and holds membership in national dairy goat associations, with each animal receiving routine health screenings for CAE and CL.

In breeding, Diana emphasizes strong genetic lines, selecting for sound hooves and consistent milking yields. Its herd grazes on mixed pastureland and enjoys year-round shelter in a spacious barn, and kids begin gentle handling at an early age to support social development. The farm grew from a family hobby into a small-scale operation hosting occasional open days for local schools. Many of its doelings go on to 4-H and dairy goat youth programs.

Visitors often note the goats’ calm demeanor during farm tours. The farm’s focus on low-stress husbandry and transparent care practices reflects a commitment to both animal welfare and quality dairy production.
