Red Earth Ranch

Red Earth Ranch raises fainting (myotonic) goats in Sentinel, Oklahoma, Washita County and western Oklahoma near Oklahoma City. Raymond Chatham follows recommended health protocols and works with local agricultural extension services to support genetic screening and ensure strong, healthy stock.

The goats graze on native grasses and legumes across rotating pastures, with daily handling that encourages a calm temperament and easy adaptation to herd life. The ranch’s design includes shaded loafing areas and secure fencing to protect against predators while allowing natural movement. Founded with an emphasis on sustainable land management, Red Earth Ranch aims to maintain balanced grazing practices that benefit both animals and local ecosystems.

This breed’s characteristic stiffening response when excited is managed with calm introductions and a predictable daily routine to reduce stress. Owners often note the breed’s versatile qualities, including quality meat and fiber and adaptability to pasture-based systems.
