Orion's Hippie Ranch

Orion's Hippie Ranch is a breeder of fainting goats in Cochranton, PA, serving northwestern Pennsylvania near Erie. It has been raising fainting goats for several years under the standards of national registry programs, with routine health screening for joint and cardiac conditions.

Its goats live on pasture with access to shelter, and each kid receives daily handling to promote calm, friendly temperaments. Owner Diana Keisel manages a small-scale, family-focused operation that prioritizes sustainable grazing and gentle training. The ranch’s herd remains attentive to genetic health, and the quiet temperament of these goats has earned appreciation from local homesteaders and small farms alike.

Regular hoof trimming and parasite control are performed in collaboration with local veterinarians to maintain overall health. Visitors note the relaxed pace of the ranch and the scenic hilltop pastures that encourage natural grazing and exploration. Each kid is documented with a simple record of birth date, lineage, and health checks.
