Endureth Farms

Endureth Farms raises fainting myotonic goats in Painter, VA, on Virginia’s Eastern Shore near Norfolk. It adheres to recommended health protocols, maintains detailed records through a recognized breed registry and schedules routine screenings to monitor overall herd well-being. Owner Joshua Youngblood emphasizes hands-on care, spending each morning inspecting hoof health, checking water sources, and ensuring feed quality meets established nutritional guidelines.

The herd grazes on rotational pasture adjacent to wooded shelter, allowing natural browsing habits while offering protection from weather and predators. Youngblood’s emphasis on early socialization means goats are accustomed to gentle handling and routine veterinary visits, fostering calm temperaments suitable for small-scale dairy or show environments.

With a background in community livestock fairs, the farm has welcomed guests at educational demos, illustrating milking basics and proper herd management. Its goal remains steady stewardship of the breed, combining sound husbandry practices with respect for the goats’ unique characteristics.
