Bassefield

Bassefield, a breeder of fainting (Myotonic) goats in Stony Creek, Virginia, serves Sussex County and the Petersburg area near Richmond.

Sue B. Kennedy has been raising fainting (Myotonic) goats for several years and is an active member of regional livestock associations. Each kid is health tested for common genetic conditions and receives regular wellness checks to ensure a sturdy start.

Goats are raised in a mixed pasture and barn system that encourages natural foraging and safe shelter during all seasons. Daily handling by family members helps develop calm temperaments, and kids are socialized alongside older herd mates. The farm’s origins as a small homestead reflect a long-standing dedication to traditional husbandry and balanced animal welfare. Some does trace back to championship lines at regional fairs, underscoring a legacy of sturdy build and gentle temperament. Nutrition is tailored with orchard grass, alfalfa hay, and mineral supplements to support strong growth and overall health throughout the seasons.
