Aj Livestock

Aj Livestock breeds fainting (myotonic) goats in Central City, KY, Muhlenberg County and the Western Coal Fields near Owensboro. Owner Antonice Thomas has cared for fainting goats for many years, follows recommended health screenings, keeps detailed records, collaborates with local veterinarians, and oversees regular hoof trimming and parasite management.

The goats graze freely on rotating pastures with access to mineral blocks and fresh water, and enjoy daily interaction with family members to ensure early socialization and trust. Kids are bottle-raised when needed to support gentle handling, and adult goats receive balanced feed blends tailored for breeding health. Aj Livestock emphasizes gentle handling from birth to foster calm, well-adjusted animals suited for hobby farms and small homesteads. The farm’s focus on breed preservation and transparent practices helps newcomers learn about this heritage variety with clear guidance and ongoing support and advice.
