Bella Vitaβs San Clemente Island Goats
Located on the Central Coast of California, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, we are a small family farm in a beautiful canyon 6 miles from the Pacific Ocean.
Our San Clemente Island Goats are a critically endangered livestock breed. There are less than 800 in existence. They ran feral on San Clemente Island for a over a century, and they offer rare and unique genes that are an important part of our agriculture heritage. They are small, deer-like, and have kind and gentle dispositions. We are conservation breeders. That means that we are trying to preserve the largest possible amount of variety in the gene pool, rather than breeding for specific traits, which is the opposite of that.

They are registered with the International Goat, Sheep & Camel Registry (igscr.com). Our goats are CAE, CL and Johne's free.
