Kaycie Gilbreath

Kaycie Gilbreath breeds goats near Santa Fe, New Mexico. Located in the Pecos River valley of central New Mexico, she has been raising dairy goats for more than a decade as a member of the American Dairy Goat Association and the New Mexico Dairy Goat Breeders Association. She follows a health testing protocol that includes regular hoof trimming, fecal egg counts and periodic blood tests, and all animals are tracked through detailed pedigree records.

Her herd grazes on rotational pastures and enjoys shelters built from reclaimed timber, where they receive early handling to encourage calm temperaments. She balances selection for sound structure and resilience to the high desert climate, with several of her does and bucks placing at regional livestock fairs. Visitors note the gentle nature of her goats and the farm’s quiet pace, reflecting a focus on everyday wellbeing rather than competition ribbons.
