Victoria Balentine

Victoria Balentine raises goats in New York, New York, in Northern New York near Syracuse. She has been breeding goats for over a decade, regularly attending conferences with the American Dairy Goat Association and following state-recommended health screenings including CAE and parasite testing. The herd grazes across mixed pastureland at a family-run homestead, with kids receiving daily socialization and gentle handling from the moment they stand.

Feeding schedules prioritize locally sourced hay and balanced mineral supplements, and routine checks include hoof trimming and parasite screening. Adults and kids share spacious, ventilated shelters cleaned daily to support respiratory health and prevent common infections. Interest in breeding stock ranges from homesteaders to experienced hobbyists drawn by the goats’ friendly temperaments and sound conformation. Those who have attended goat yoga sessions at the on-site barn often note the herd’s calm nature and engaging interactions with participants.
