Heather Hendershot

Heather Hendershot is a breeder of goats in Delaware near Wilmington. She has been raising goats for more than a decade, following recognized health-testing protocols that include routine veterinary exams and parasite screenings.

Her herd enjoys pasture rotation across fenced paddocks, accompanied by daily handling to foster calm temperaments. Each goat has a roomy shelter on the farm’s rolling land, offering protection from wind and rain while encouraging natural behaviors. Kids remain with their mothers for at least eight weeks to support bonding and strong immune development.

This family-scale operation emphasizes early socialization so goats adapt smoothly to home environments and smallholders. Breeding choices focus on hardy stock that thrive in varied climates common to the Mid-Atlantic region. Owners note the even temperament, consistent health records and the ongoing guidance provided throughout the animals’ lives on and off the farm.
