Philip Hopkins

Philip Hopkins is a goat breeder in Murfreesboro, Tennessee near Nashville.

He has raised dairy goats for over a decade, following recommended health-testing protocols and record-keeping practices. His herd undergoes routine hoof trimming, vaccinations and wellness checks to support robust health. Young goats are introduced to daily interactions, gentle handling and basic grooming from the start, with access to pasture and sheltered bedding throughout the seasons.

Animals are fed a balanced diet of hay, grain and mineral supplements to meet breed-specific needs. Breeding selections emphasize consistent milk production, gentle disposition and strong constitution across generations. Philip collaborates with neighboring breeders to share breeding stock and insights on nutrition to maintain genetic diversity and herd well-being. This small-scale homestead approach helps maintain close attention to temperament and adaptability, making these goats a good fit for family farms, hobby breeders and small-scale agriculture.
