Missy Schomer

Missy Schomer, goats, Springfield, Illinois. Missy Schomer has been raising goats for more than 10 years and holds memberships with the American Dairy Goat Association and the Illinois Dairy Goat Association. Each of her animals undergoes routine health screening to maintain herd well-being. Her focus on gentle handling and early socialization gives each kid time to adapt to family environments.

Nestled on land that has been in her family for generations, her small herd of sturdy, friendly goats graze on rotational pastures before moving indoors to spacious, ventilated barns. In winter they enjoy heated shelters and fresh straw bedding to stay comfortable. Kids are weaned gradually and receive daily handling until eight weeks, and several of her does have earned ribbons at county fairs, reflecting the herd’s quality and calm temperament. Resident in central Illinois near Peoria, her operation reflects a thoughtful balance of tradition and attentive animal welfare.
