Fossy's Folly

Fossy's Folly breeds Mini alpine goats in Waynesville, NC, across Haywood County and the Great Smoky Mountains near Asheville. The herd is registered with recognized goat associations, follows breed standards for conformation and dairy traits, and undergoes routine health screenings including parasite control and hoof trims. Kids stay with their mothers for natural weaning on pasture, while daily handling and exposure to children and pets help foster friendly, well-adjusted animals. The family-run farm practices rotational grazing on diverse pastureland, planting clover blends for nutritional variety and rotating paddocks to maintain lush forage.

Many offspring participate in local livestock shows and community programs, reflecting the breeder’s focus on temperament as well as physical soundness. Attention to balanced diets, including mineral supplements and fresh browse, supports strong bone development and milk production for budding dairy goats. Breeder Deeda Hendricks draws on decades of experience managing small ruminant health and collaborates with a local veterinarian for herd wellness. Owners often remark on the goats’ calm demeanor, consistent milk yields and the supportive guidance they receive on pasture management and goat care.
