EB Ranch Farmstead

EB Ranch Farmstead, San Clemente goats, Ridgeland, WI, in northwestern Wisconsin near Eau Claire. Erin Link has focused on nurturing this Spanish heritage breed for several years, adhering to guidelines from national goat associations. All animals undergo routine health screenings, with parasite control, hoof trimming, and nutrition plans tailored to each stage in life.

The goats graze on rotational pasture and have access to indoor shelters that offer natural light and fresh bedding. San Clemente goats are known for their hardy coats and adaptability to seasonal changes, traits supported by well-ventilated barns and mineral supplementation. Kidding typically takes place in spring to coincide with fresh pasture growth, and young goats are carefully integrated into established herds to encourage stable social bonds. A detailed record-keeping system helps track lineage and maintain breed standards for small-scale conservation. Many observers note the herd’s calm temperament and the farm’s thoughtful approach to animal welfare.
