Golden Acres Ranch participates in recognized goat breeders associations, follows American Dairy Goat Association health guidelines, and conducts routine genetic and veterinary screenings to ensure herd wellness.

Visitors often compliment the farm for its well-maintained grounds, spacious shelters, and the goats’ surprisingly friendly nature during guided tours. Shelters include shaded loafing areas, dry bedding, and sturdy fencing, while movable paddocks support pasture health and parasite control.
