Hill Top Acres

Hill Top Acres is a fainting goat breeder in Mountain Home, Arkansas, in the Ozark Mountains region near Springfield. It has been breeding fainting goats for more than a decade, holding memberships in national dairy goat associations and following breed-specific health testing protocols for key genetic conditions. The herd lives in a pasture-based rotational grazing system with access to a sheltered barn, and daily handling helps young goats build confidence around people and other farm animals.

Donna Cole’s farm has been in the family for three generations, and her approach to gentle handling and environmental enrichment shows in the goats’ steady temperaments. Visitors often note the herd’s calm behavior during feeding and grooming sessions, reflecting a consistent program of socialization from birth.

Soil quality and forage diversity are carefully monitored to support balanced nutrition, while mineral supplements are adjusted seasonally to promote strong skeletal development. Seasonal kidding takes place in a dedicated barn designed to ensure comfort and proper care for does and their kids throughout the year.
