Herb Schroeder Jr has over a decade of experience and tracks each animal’s lineage and health milestones. They maintain thorough health logs, including vaccination schedules and hoof-trimming records. All goats undergo routine wellness checks, balanced feeding schedules and parasite management tailored to regional conditions. The herd enjoys daily pasture rotations and close interaction with family members to support social development.

These breeding practices aim to nurture animals that thrive in seasonal Minnesota climates.
