Clark Family Farm

Clark Family Farm is a breeder of fainting (myotonic) goats in Bidwell, OH in Gallia County and the Appalachian foothills near Portsmouth. James H. Clark has been working with these goats for several years and follows recommended health screenings for common caprine concerns, with tests for CL and CAE. The herd grazes on mixed pasture and native browse with access to a three-sided shelter and daily social time to develop friendly dispositions.

The farm traces its roots in the region back several decades, reflecting a long-standing connection to local agriculture. James values a hands-on approach, introducing young kids to handling soon after birth. Kids are gradually weaned to help them adjust smoothly to new homes. Each animal receives a mineral supplement appropriate for the Ohio climate and seasonal pasture quality. Visitors and new owners often note the goats’ steady nature and James’s willingness to share practical care tips.
