Herds are raised on pasture with access to shelter in a converted barn, and kids enjoy early socialization with family and other farm animals. The farm’s approach emphasizes gentle handling and natural feeding strategies to support strong musculoskeletal development. Biosecurity measures include quarantining new arrivals and routine veterinary visits. Forage is rotated to preserve pasture health and ensure diverse nutrition.

Neighbors note the herd’s calm nature and adaptability, and several small homesteads have welcomed these goats as companion animals. Several herd members have demonstrated strong breed characteristics at local agricultural events without compromising temperament, and are well-suited for homestead life.
