Myotonic Goats

Meet the Goats

Fainting goats, also known as Myotonic goats, have a long and fascinating history that dates back to the late 1800s in the United States. Known for their unique myotonia trait that causes their muscles to temporarily stiffen when startled, these goats quickly became beloved not only for their distinctive behavior but also for their sturdy build, calm temperament, and friendly personalities. Today, fainting goats are treasured by farms and families alike for their charm, beauty, and gentle nature.

At Hancock Farms, our goats are raised with care, attention, and a deep appreciation for the breed. We are passionate about maintaining strong genetics and quality bloodlines while raising goats that are healthy, well-socialized, and a joy to have on any farm. Our herd features striking black and white coloring, bright blue eyes, and the compact, muscular build that makes the Myotonic breed so distinctive.

Each goat on our farm is part of a carefully considered breeding program focused on temperament, structure, and overall health. From playful kids to experienced breeding stock, our goats are raised in a natural farm environment with plenty of space to roam and daily interaction that keeps them friendly and confident.

Whether you are looking to start your own herd, add quality genetics to your breeding program, or simply bring the joy of fainting goats to your farm, we are proud to share the animals we raise here at Hancock Farms.
