Misfit Manor

Misfit Manor is home to LaMancha goats in Pella, IA, in Jasper County near Des Moines. The farm’s caretakers follow American Dairy Goat Association recommendations and maintain routine health testing to support strong, healthy breeding lines. Kids are raised on pasture and introduced to daily handling from an early age so they remain calm and socialized.

With three generations of experience from Dave & Wendy Peffers and their daughter Taryn, the family maintains a small-scale operation focused on thoughtful husbandry and clean, spacious barns. Their herd is often admired for its easygoing nature and adaptability in varied farm environments. The property includes rotational pasture and sheltered loafing areas, allowing the goats to graze freely while retreating to draft-free shelters during colder months. Understanding local seasonal changes in central Iowa, the Peffers family adapts feeding and bedding schedules to ensure consistent comfort and nutrition year-round.
