Herding Dog Ranch

Herding Dog Ranch, fainting (myotonic) goat breeder in Krum, TX, Denton County and the Dallas–Fort Worth area near Fort Worth. Kelly Ring draws on more than 15 years of experience raising fainting (myotonic) goats, adhering to recommended health testing protocols and maintaining detailed records for each doe and buck.

Animals graze on rotational pasture and have access to sheltered loafing barns equipped with fresh bedding through all seasons. Regular handling from birth helps the goats stay calm during routine care, and they socialize with Kelly’s dogs under watchful supervision. Feeding plans are tailored to each animal’s stage of life, with mineral supplements to support hoof and coat health.

Each spring, Herding Dog Ranch participates in nearby county fairs, where doeling kids earn ribbons in junior showmanship classes. The ranch’s rural setting invites learners to observe natural goat behaviors, fostering an understanding of responsible herd management.
