Beautiful LaManchas... Great pix.

You might try putting the kinda wild doe in a small birthing stall. Be with her when she kids and touch the wet baby, and get the birth stuff so that she smells it on you. Be with the baby as it gets colostrums. This is what I think calmed my wildish Suzie.

I got her as a weaned dam-raised doeling. As a FF I'd feed her on the milkstand and force her to let me touch her udder. She'd bounce around and tell me to stop. After her buckling came and I helped pull him, show him which end then she completely changed. She is now very friendly. So I think that haveing the baby smell changed her attitude toward me.
Best. Paul
