Good Ridge Farms

Good Ridge Farms is a breeder of fainting (Myotonic) goats in Rolla, MO, in Phelps County and the Missouri Ozarks near Springfield. The farm maintains its herd under American Goat Society recommendations, including routine health screening and genetic selection to support strong bones and calm temperament.

Its goats enjoy daily pasture rotation, gentle handling from birth and a clean barn environment with fresh hay and mineral supplements. The herd grazes on gently rolling hills to encourage natural foraging and even hoof wear throughout the seasons. Dwayne Goodridge stays hands-on with each kidding season to ensure early socialization and thorough health checks.

Breeding lines favored in 4-H shows and therapy programs reflect its small family farm roots. Owners often mention the goats’ steady temperament and friendly curiosity around visitors. Families appreciate the clear guidance on goat care and the farm’s open layout that encourages close observation of natural behaviors.
