If you're searching for a fun, hardy, and truly unique addition to your farm or homestead, the Fainting Goat—also known as the Myotonic Goat—might be just what you're looking for. These goats are known for their one-of-a-kind "fainting" trait, compact size, and easygoing temperament.
At Abbott Family Farm, we currently have fainting goat doelings (female kids) for sale, perfect for anyone wanting to add charm and functionality to their property.
🐐 What Is a Fainting Goat?
Fainting goats are a small to medium-sized heritage breed originally developed in the United States. Their name comes from a condition called myotonia congenita, which causes their muscles to momentarily stiffen when startled. This reflex makes them freeze in place—or occasionally tip over—for a few seconds.
They don't actually lose consciousness, and it doesn’t harm them. It’s just one of the many quirks that make this breed stand out.
🌾 Why Choose Fainting Goats?
Fainting goats aren’t just entertaining—they’re excellent additions to small farms and hobby homesteads for many practical reasons:
✅ Low-maintenance: Hardy and easy to care for
✅ Great for pasture management: Natural weed eaters
✅ Calmer than other breeds: Less prone to jumping or escaping
✅ Ideal for beginners: Gentle disposition and manageable size
✅ Dual-purpose breed: Valued for both meat and companionship
Thanks to their manageable nature and eye-catching looks, fainting goats are growing in popularity across the U.S.
