Mine-O-Tonic Ranch

Mine-O-Tonic Ranch breeds fainting (Myotonic) goats in Montague, California, Siskiyou County and the Shasta Cascade region near Redding. Routine health screenings and balanced nutrition are central to its approach, with each goat raised under careful supervision. Animals graze in mixed pasture and shelter setups, and regular interaction from an early age supports strong social bonds.

The herd is known for its calm temperament and sturdy structure, traits valued by family homesteads and small-scale dairy operations. Raised by Kaylee Shaffer in a setting that blends practical farm management with attention to animal welfare, these goats reflect the ranch’s years of steady focus on quality husbandry. Breeding decisions emphasize temperament and structural soundness over rapid growth, reflecting the ranch’s focus on long-term herd well-being. Kaylee’s background in small-livestock management brings a hands-on approach to each stage of the goats’ development, from kidding through mature pasture care.
