Hope Springs Ranch - HSR

Hope Springs Ranch - HSR Savannah goats in Missouri, located in the rolling Ozarks near Springfield. Stephanie Dotson and Tony Dotson have over a decade of experience breeding Savannah goats, focusing on bloodlines traced to reputable foundation herds, and hold memberships with national goat associations. They follow health protocols including fecal egg counts, targeted deworming and regular hoof trimming to support herd vitality and resilience.

Kids are handled daily from birth under sheltered barns with attached paddocks, promoting calm temperaments and safe group interactions throughout each season. The ranch uses rotational grazing across mixed grass pastures and nearby hay fields to provide balanced nutrition and minimize parasite exposure year-round. Visiting families often comment on the goats’ approachable nature, sturdy conformation and consistent growth rates.

The ranch’s methods reflect a family tradition of small-scale livestock care, holistic pasture rotation and a commitment to sustainable land use. Their focus on long-term herd welfare has earned steady referrals from local farmers and homesteaders.
