Crosby Reed

Crosby Reed breeds goats in central North Carolina near Raleigh. It has grown steadily since its first kids were born over ten years ago and holds membership in the American Dairy Goat Association alongside regular health screening for CAE and caprine arthritis testing.

Each kid is raised on gently sloped pasture with open-air fencing and barn shelter to encourage natural grazing and safe rest. Reed believes that early handling with calm voices and supervised exploration of the wider farmstead supports a steady temperament and strong social bonds. Hoof trimming, tailored mineral supplementation and routine parasite checks are part of its herd care routine.

Neighbors praise the friendly tone of the farm visits and the clear records that follow every animal’s lineage and health history. Some of the herd has earned ribbons at regional agricultural fairs, reflecting consistent quality and health. Programs for ongoing education keep Reed informed of best practices in nutrition and herd genetics.
