I have LaManchas and Boers, and My Boers never holler unless there is trouble ( normally when one of their herd mates makes a break over the fence) and most of my LaManchas are only noisy when they want treats or something, but I have one LaMancha girl who NEVER shuts up. They are all pastured, with hay, grain, grass, friends, water you name it, and she will holler every single stinking time she sees me ( to the point where I "sneak" by her when I don't feel like listening to her. So, with that note, I agree with the others. Just depends on the goat. But most of my LaMancha and Boers are pretty quiet
