Melissa Holahan

Melissa Holahan breeds goats in Michigan and the Great Lakes region near Detroit. She has been part of goat husbandry for more than a decade, is a member of the American Dairy Goat Association and follows routine health protocols. Her animals are raised on pasture with shelter access year-round and seasonal pasture rotations, allowing plenty of space for exercise and social interaction. Milk and fiber goats are handled daily to foster gentle behavior around families and children.

Holahan places emphasis on balanced temperament, selecting breeding stock for structural soundness and calm disposition. Nursing youngsters stay with their dam for natural bonding, then join group pens with gradual exposure to new sights and sounds. Visitors note the relaxed atmosphere and clean facilities. Whether for county fairs, small homesteads or family farms, her program aims to produce goats suited to both show and companion roles.
