Joy Beaty

Joy Beaty is a goat breeder in Indiana near Indianapolis. She has been raising goats for over a decade and follows guidelines from the American Dairy Goat Association with annual vaccinations, nutrition assessments and genetic record keeping.

Her herd lives on pasture-based paddocks with rotated grazing and sturdy shelters that protect from seasonal weather, and each animal receives regular hoof trimming and monthly wellness checks by a local veterinarian. Kids are introduced to routine handling from an early age to build confidence and steady temperaments for 4-H projects or small-scale dairy operations. During kidding season the herd receives additional shelter and nutritional support, with individual kidding pens to monitor doe and kid health closely.

Some of her does have earned ribbons at county fairs for consistent structure and coat quality, reflecting careful breeding decisions. The farm follows a multi-generational homestead tradition and visitors note the calm disposition of the herd throughout all stages of development.
