Fainting Goats
In
the latter 70's Fainting Goats were on the endangered list.
It was important for us to raise an animal to help re-generate
the population. We have never regretted that decision. We
have raised Fainting Goats for the past 15 years. All of
our goats are Premium registered with the International
Fainting Goat Association: IFGA. We usually maintain a herd
of 20-25 goats. We breed for early spring kidding's, and
most of our doe's deliver in March. Generally the births
result in birth size of 1-3 offspring. We have had quads
born before as well. These doe's are excellent mothers.
Some of our initial attractions to these goats were their
small to medium size, calm dispositions, and fancy colors.
Two other very important facts are that these goats are
not escape artists, and are easily penned. Because of the
fainting factor, they don't easily climb or jump for ways
of escape, and they stay where they are put. The majority
of our fainting goats are fenced in a standard hog panel
fencing, the height of 32". Most goats can easily clear
4' to 5' in fence height, and that is not the case with
fainting goats. These goats are hardy and easy to raise
and a nice alternative to have on our farm. It is a lot
of fun in the springtime to see the fancy array of colorful
"kids" frolic and play, and we could watch them
for hours if time permitted. Email
us if you have any questions or
if you would like a copy of the Fainting Goat story I have
written that includes a lot of fainting goat info and some
history too! |

This
is what raising fainters
is all about!
Thank you Savedes family
for sharing these great photos and this message:
"We sure do love our
little goats. The girls really have a lot of fun
with them and the goats seem to really love
them too!" |

As
you can see kids love "kids".
Fainting Goats are loved by many.
We offer both horned and polled offspring
of unrelated lineage in a wide array
of colors, from colorful black & whites
to beautiful tri colors. |

These
photos show you some of our past offspring in a "full
faint".
Fainting does not harm them, it is not a seizure, nor
are they passed out. |
