Bellinger's Liberty Acres

Bellinger's Liberty Acres fainting (myotonic) goats in Monmouth, IL, western Illinois near Moline. Wesley P Bellinger has bred goats for over a decade, participating in the American Dairy Goat Association to support breed standards and performing regular health screenings for intestinal parasites and hoof care. Kids are raised in a pasture-based setting where they brush against visitors and learn to interact with dogs and children from an early age.

Housed in a renovated barn with natural ventilation and dry bedding, the herd benefits from rotational grazing to maintain a balanced diet across seasons. Bellinger’s focus on steady temperament and structural soundness has led to offspring that perform well in local 4-H shows and therapy programs at area nursing homes. Owners praise the gentle nature of these goats and note clear, prompt communication when arranging visits or selecting kids for homesteads. The farm sits on rolling hills shaded by walnut and oak belts that offer shelter during hot summer days.
