Dancing Heart Ranch

Dancing Heart Ranch breeds pygmy goats in Richards, Texas, in San Jacinto County and the Houston area. Susie Lybarger follows herd health protocols, including routine veterinary checkups and parasite management recommended for pygmy goats. The ranch maintains small herd sizes for individualized care and sets breeding goals to preserve the breed’s compact frame and lively disposition. Kids grow up in mixed-age groups on open pastures, gaining early socialization through daily handling and turnout. Animal housing blends sturdy indoor shelters with shaded outdoor pens, allowing natural behaviors and comfort throughout the seasons.

Raised on a small-scale family farm, these goats adapt well to diverse environments and pastoral routines. Their steady temperaments reflect consistent enrichment, grazing rotations, and close attention to feed quality. Visitors often note the friendly, inquisitive nature of each animal, a result of the ranch’s emphasis on gentle introductions and ongoing farm tours.
