Straw Bridge

Straw Bridge LaMancha goats, USAF Academy, Colorado, are raised in El Paso County and Colorado Springs. Don Strawbridge has been breeding registered LaMancha goats for over a decade, holds membership in the American Dairy Goat Association, and schedules regular veterinary health screenings to monitor hoof, udder, and overall wellness. Strict biosecurity protocols and genetic selection for milk quality and docile behavior guide each breeding decision. Each goat enjoys rotational grazing across mixed forage pastures with year-round access to shade structures and a ventilated barn with soft bedding.

Family-style socialization begins at birth, with kids handled daily to foster calm temperaments and strong human-animal bonds. The operation prioritizes sustainable practices, including homemade mineral licks and composting of bedding to nurture soil health. Visitors often note the goats’ gentle nature and clear lineage records, reflecting Straw Bridge’s commitment to transparency and responsible husbandry. A comprehensive set of herd records is maintained and available upon request, covering pedigrees and health history.
