Ironstone Shire

Ironstone Shire San Clemente goat breeders are in Olathe, CO, on the Western Slope near Grand Junction. Liz Shires follows recognized breed association standards and maintains routine health protocols, including regular parasite checks and hoof assessments. Their goats graze on rotational pastures and rest in a ventilated barn at night, receiving daily handling to nurture gentle temperaments.

Kids are introduced to barn chores early, which supports social confidence and ease of care for new owners. On-site facilities include shaded loafing areas, fresh water troughs and a dedicated kidding pen monitored throughout birthing seasons. The farm’s herd traces back to original island stock, preserving hardy genetics suited to small-scale homesteads. Each doe is evaluated for structure and temperament before joining the breeding herd, with detailed lineage records maintained for every kid. Visitors note the calm demeanor of the herd and the farm’s hands-on approach, reflecting years of dedicated stewardship.
