North Jackson Goats

North Jackson Goats are Kiko goats in Salem, NY, Washington County and the Capital District near Albany. They follow health screening protocols and maintain alignment with industry breed standards through involvement in national and regional goat networks. Their animals graze on open pasture at 501 Reafield Farm Road with access to draft shelter and daily handling that fosters well-socialized, adaptable goats.

Owners Tyler Skellie and Jessica Skellie bring complementary skills in pasture management and small-ruminant care. They emphasize rotational grazing and gentle handling to promote hardy health and calm temperaments in the herd. Their approach balances traditional livestock practices with thoughtful husbandry to support goats suited for homestead or small-farm settings. Each kidding season is carefully overseen to ensure strong maternal bonds and early kid socialization. The herd benefits from pasture rotation to minimize parasite pressure and encourage diverse forage.
