Hefty Goat Holler

Hefty Goat Holler offers mini LaMancha goats in central Arkansas near Little Rock. Owner Kendra Shatswell has been raising goats for over a decade, is a member of the American Dairy Goat Association and participates in regular testing for CAE, CL and Johne’s disease, guiding her selection of bucks with strong conformation and gentle temperaments. Kids are raised in a pasture-based setting with daily grooming and supervised socialization to prepare them for backyard or homestead life. The farm’s small herd size allows for individualized attention to breeding goals and kid development.

All kids receive initial vaccinations, deworming and hoof trimming under veterinary guidance. Rotational grazing and mineral-balanced diets support herd health and sustainability. Open-farm days allow visitors to observe kid care routines and learn about sustainable goat husbandry. A visitor commented on the calm temperament of the kids, reflecting the farm’s hands-on approach.
