Blackberry Kids

Blackberry Kids is a fainting (myotonic) goat breeder in Louisville, KY, in Jefferson County and the Bluegrass region near Lexington. Owner Jessie Fikter follows established herd health protocols, including regular hoof trimming and annual vaccination schedules recommended by veterinary experts.

They participate in certified regional goat association programs to support breeding records and genetic diversity efforts. Kids are raised in a rotational mixed pasture setting where they have daily access to shade, fresh water and weatherproof shelter. They gain early handling experiences and gentle socialization routines that prepare them for calm interactions.

Several lineages trace back to careful foundation stock known for sturdy frames and balanced temperaments. The farm’s modest but comfortable facilities reflect a focus on animal welfare over unnecessary frills. Communication is handled directly with Jessie Fikter to share detailed breeding goals, kid development milestones, and ongoing follow-up support.
