Dawn Winters

Dawn Winters is a goat breeder in the Springfield area of central Illinois. For more than a decade her herd has been raised according to standards set by regional small ruminant associations.

All animals receive routine health testing, annual vaccinations, and targeted parasite control, and detailed records are maintained for each litter. Her farm balances rotational grazing on open pasture with a secure barn area stocked with nutrient-dense hay, ensuring consistent nutrition and year-round shelter through seasonal rotation schedules. Kids are handled by her team daily from birth in both barn and pasture settings to foster a gentle temperament and strong social confidence.

Prospective owners often mention the approachable nature of her goats and the comprehensive care guidance shared at placement, including follow-up support for new herds. Seasonal farm tours showcase sustainable land management practices, water conservation efforts, and offer a glimpse of daily life on the property. She participates in annual regional livestock shows to stay connected with other goat breeders and learn emerging best practices in herd health.
