Brochin's Hackberry Lane

Brochin's Hackberry Lane, fainting (myotonic) goats in Odon, IN, is located in Daviess County and the Wabash Valley near Evansville. The Doug Family has been breeding fainting goats for several years, focusing on balanced conformation and sound health through routine veterinary checks and proper nutrition. They follow industry standards for hoof trimming, vaccination schedules, and parasite management to maintain a thriving herd.

Kids grow up in open pastures and receive daily handling to foster friendly temperaments and resilience to changing weather. The homestead barn provides shelter and indoor areas for quiet observation during kidding season and inclement weather. Practical experience and feedback from neighboring farms guide their breeding decisions to support durability and calm dispositions. Doe and buck nutrition is tailored to each life stage with high-quality forage and grain supplementation during lactation and breeding. Several local 4-H families have welcomed kids from this herd for show purposes and educational projects.
