Crooked Oak Farm

Crooked Oak Farm, fainting (myotonic) goats, Washington, NC in the Inner Banks near Greenville, is known for responsible breeding. Renee Hudson maintains detailed records and follows recommended health testing protocols for common herd diseases. Its animals graze rotational pastures and are handled daily to foster calm temperaments and strong social bonds.

Kids are raised in straw-bedded shelters during colder months and have constant access to fresh water and minerals, while diets include orchard grass hay, legumes and locally milled grains to support growth and lactation. Regular veterinary partnerships ensure vaccinations and parasite control align with current best practices. Several animals have placed in regional 4-H shows, demonstrating the farm’s emphasis on both performance and temperament. The farm also hosts occasional workshops on goat care, reflecting a commitment to agricultural education. Its low-stress approach complements the breed’s gentle nature and characteristic myotonic response.
