Goat Shaq

Goat Shaq is a small family operation breeding Fainting (Myotonic) goats in Whitman, AZ, serving eastern Arizona near Phoenix.

The operation follows comprehensive annual health-testing protocols and maintains detailed lineage records for every kid. Their herd lives on pasture-rich acreage, rotating through shady, oak-lined paddocks and well-ventilated barns. Pasture rotation and regular herd health checks help minimize common gastrointestinal parasites without routine dewormers. Natural timber fencing and seasonal forage plantings enrich the goats’ environment and encourage foraging behavior. Each youngster receives daily hands-on socialization to foster calm, confident temperaments and resilient health.

Proprietor Alisa Romaine draws on family roots in sustainable farming and rotational-grazing methods to ensure balanced nutrition, clean water access, and natural hoof care, and she adapts routines to the fainting goat’s unique myotonia. This approach has earned consistently positive feedback for the goats’ naturally steady dispositions and sturdy builds.
