Valerie Byers

Valerie Byers, goat breeder in Texas, raises goats in Central Texas near Austin. She has bred goats for over fifteen years and maintains active membership in the American Dairy Goat Association, ensuring adherence to established health-testing guidelines. All breeding stock undergoes routine veterinary exams, parasite screenings, and regular hoof trimming. Young goats are born in sheltered pens before moving to spacious pastures, where they benefit from daily handling and early socialization.

The farm includes a modern barn with climate-controlled stalls, shaded loafing sheds, and a rotational grazing system that promotes pasture regeneration. Pasture grasses are supplemented with locally sourced hay, minerals, and balanced grain mixes to support overall herd health. Does are selected for sound structure and strong maternal instincts, while buck kids receive individual attention to foster gentle temperaments. Owners often comment on the herds’ friendly nature and resilience through seasonal shifts.
