The one in the far back looks like a boer goat. I am having issue telling if the blondish one has short ears (gopher ears in which it would make it a la mancha) The other one could be a kiko or a percentage boer.

Back Boer cross, front two La Mancha or La Mancha crosses.

The back goat has boer goat markings, but is probably a cross. I can't tell on the other ones.

The "Boer" goat doesn't have the classic convex Boer profile; while the markings and the ears suggest Boer, that face makes me suspect that it's more likely crossed with a dairy breed. I agree that the others look Lamancha.

. Would you need me to post better pics to determine the breed ?

That would be helpful.

Also, how do you keep them from soiling the hay? For most folks with goats, if hay was in a bin on the ground like that, they'd lay and poo in it in like, two seconds. Then, they don't eat it after that.
