Blue Skies Ranch

Blue Skies Ranch is a fainting (myotonic) goat breeder in Salem, MO, in the Ozarks region near Springfield. Owner Kristina L. Trautman has over a decade of experience, keeping herd records with national breeding associations and carrying out routine health tests.

Kids are raised on pasture with shelter access and receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments. Animals receive balanced diets of hay and grains formulated for mineral needs, and hooves are checked monthly for proper care. Seasonal farm tours offer glimpses of new kids interacting with the herd, reflecting the ranch’s open approach to goat husbandry.

Breeding selections prioritize temperament and structural soundness, with each pairing documented to track lineage. The operation draws on family farm heritage, emphasizing genetic soundness and close attention during kidding season. Many owners note the friendly dispositions and consistent health of kids before they join their new homes.
