Faint Of Heart Goats

Faint Of Heart Goats raises fainting (myotonic) goats in Mt. Juliet, TN, in Middle Tennessee near Nashville. Owned by Jennifer Burns, the family-run operation follows industry standards for health testing, parasite control, and routine veterinary care while emphasizing sustainable pasture management.

Kids and adults graze on rotational pastures and spend time in clean, spacious barns with daily handling to support calm temperaments. All kidding is closely monitored, and does receive attentive supportive care through pregnancy and kidding. Jennifer emphasizes a quiet, low-stress environment that aligns with the gentle nature of fainting goats. Kids are gently introduced to supplemental feed before weaning to ensure smooth transitions and steady weight gain.

Records are kept in line with American Dairy Goat Association recommendations for clear lineage tracking. The farm’s layout on rolling fields offers space for natural foraging and encourages strong herd bonds.
