Gathering Ridge Farm

Gathering Ridge Farm is a breeder of fainting (Myotonic) goats in Cynthiana, KY in the Bluegrass region near Lexington. They have cared for fainting goats for several years and follow industry guidelines for health testing and herd records. Kids are raised on pasture with daily handling to encourage socialization and accustomed to seasonal rotations across well-maintained paddocks.

The farm maintains detailed breeding records and takes part in community workshops promoting breed education and responsible goat care. These goats are praised for their calm temperaments, making them well-suited for small family farms or educational programs throughout Harrison County. Each kid receives routine hoof trimming and wellness checks to ensure healthy development.
