Jennifer Neece

Jennifer Neece, goats, Jefferson City, Missouri, serves central Missouri near Kansas City. She has been raising milk goats for over a decade and follows industry health protocols with testing for caprine arthritis encephalitis and caseous lymphadenitis. Her animals graze on mixed pasture and retire each evening to a climate-controlled barn where daily hoof care, nutritional monitoring and gentle handling support their well-being.

Visitors can observe bottle feeding with kids and the herd’s quiet temperament during hands-on socialization sessions before placement into family farms. Breeding decisions are guided by udder conformation and calm disposition to suit homesteaders and small dairy operations, and Neece remains available for lifetime advice. Photographs of kid frolics and records of lactic yield are shared with interested families to illustrate performance and temperament. Jennifer’s upbringing on a historic farm informs her approach to grass-based feeding and rotational grazing.
