Falling Tree Farms

Falling Tree Farms raises fainting (myotonic) goats in Roseau, MN, serving northwest Minnesota near Fargo. Carrie B. Kazmierczak follows American Dairy Goat Association guidelines and performs routine health screenings for conditions like caprine arthritis encephalitis and caseous lymphadenitis.

Its selective breeding practices draw on years of experience to maintain sound conformation, gentle temperaments, and the characteristic myotonic response. Kids are reared on rotating pastures with ready access to shelter, clean water, and supplemental hay, and frequent gentle handling helps develop calm, sociable animals.

This small-scale, family-run operation allows individual attention to each goat and supports hardy health suited to northern climates. Many owners appreciate how the breed’s easy-going nature and sturdy constitution adapt well to homestead life, reflecting the farm’s commitment to responsible husbandry. Goat kids socialize with older herd members and are introduced to daily routines alongside other farm animals to encourage adaptability.
