A & D Farm

A & D Farm raises fainting (myotonic) goats in Monterey, TN, in the Upper Cumberland region near Cookeville. Owner Amy Matheney has spent over a decade refining her program with a focus on genetic health screenings through national goat associations and annual veterinary evaluations. Herds live on well-ventilated pastures and climate-controlled indoor shelters that balance protection with daily turnout.

Kids are gently handled from birth to encourage calm temperaments, early socialization, and strong bonds with their new families. The farm adheres to recognized best practices in nutrition, parasite management, and hoof care, ensuring sound structure and longevity. Many residents note the goats’ gentle nature, curious personalities, and adaptability to diverse farm settings.

Amy’s commitment extends to community outreach events, often welcoming visitors to learn about sustainable goat care and on-farm education programs. Feedback highlights the herd’s even-tempered dispositions, consistent health records, and the farm’s transparent approach to breeding standards.
