Rutz Ridge

Rutz Ridge raises Mini LaMancha and Nigerian dwarf goats in Shelbyville, Tennessee, serving Middle Tennessee near Nashville. Charity Rutz has been involved in registered goat breeding for over ten years, participating in the American Dairy Goat Association and conducting routine health screenings for CAE, CL, and Johne’s disease. The herd enjoys daily pasture rotations and weather-resistant shelters, while newborn kids receive gentle handling several times a day to develop trust and social skills. Nutrition is balanced with fresh forage and a custom mineral mix, and seasonal breeding plans reflect a commitment to sustainable, small-scale farming.

One neighbor praised the clear communication and healthy kid deliveries. The farm operates on family-owned land that has hosted goats for generations. Visitors often note the quiet farm setting and approachable temperament of the animals. Charity Rutz shares updates on kidding season and offers ongoing guidance to new goat owners, reflecting a genuine dedication to lifelong support.
