Allie Hilliker

Allie Hilliker, fainting (myotonic) goat breeder in Lebanon, TN, serves Middle Tennessee near Nashville. She maintains her herd with routine health screenings for genetic conditions, regular foot trimming and vaccination schedules, and she supports regional goat husbandry groups through volunteer workshops and local fairs.

Allie raises her goats on rotational pastures adjacent to woodland edges, combining airy shelter barns with free-range grazing areas seeded with diverse forage to support balanced nutrition. Her breeding philosophy emphasizes calm temperaments and adaptability, with daily handling from birth to encourage positive social behavior and gentle interactions during farm visits.

The family-run homestead keeps detailed pedigree records and participates in community-supported agriculture events to share sustainable pasture management practices. Visitors often note the goats’ friendly nature at farm tours, and the quiet setting offers an opportunity to learn about small-scale goat care firsthand. Young kids are reared underfoot until weaning to foster strong bonds and allow close health monitoring.
