April Motl

April Motl, a breeder of goats in the Sierra Nevada foothills near Fresno, California, brings over ten years of careful animal breeding to her homestead. She maintains registry membership and health screenings for all breeding stock, ensuring each doe and buck meets noted standards for sound joints and clear eyes.

Animals graze on mixed pasture with access to covered loafing areas and fresh water, and they are socialized daily from birth to support calm temperaments. April emphasizes rotational grazing and forage diversity to build natural immunity and reduce parasite burdens. Herd records track lineage, health treatments and production traits, reflecting a methodical approach to breeding. Preventive hoof care and routine vaccinations are scheduled through a local veterinarian familiar with small ruminant health. Kids remain on pasture with their dams until weaning, then move to sheltered paddocks lined with straw and heated lamps in winter months.
