Big Wheel Ranch “Fainting Goats”

Big Wheel Ranch “Fainting Goats” raises fainting (myotonic) goats in Ogema, MN, serving Becker County near Detroit Lakes. Roxane M. Holland has over a decade of hands-on experience and maintains a registered herd with recognized goat breeding organizations and local agricultural networks.

Goats graze on rolling pastureland with access to a protective barn stall and receive daily handling to foster a calm temperament. Breeding focuses on strong maternal traits and consistent kid growth, supported by annual hoof trimming and tailored mineral supplementation. Young kids are socialized with family members and age-appropriate companions to support balanced behavioral development. Detailed breeding records document lineage and health outcomes for each animal, helping maintain herd consistency. Community feedback praises the attentive approach and the gentle nature of these fainting goats.
