Great River Ranch

Great River Ranch raises fainting (myotonic) goats on a family farm in Bena, Minnesota, in the lake-country region of northern Minnesota near Grand Rapids. Melissa Yuenger runs the operation, which also includes Nigerian dwarf goats raised for milk production and as pets.

The farm registers its myotonic goats with the Myotonic Goat Registry and its Nigerian dwarfs with the American Dairy Goat Association, and it holds membership in the American Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Association. Annual disease testing is a consistent part of the herd-management program, with all milkers tested each year alongside a portion of the non-milking animals. Fainting goat kids from Great River Ranch are sought by families and small farms looking for registered myotonic goats in Minnesota.

The ranch also hand-milks its goats and uses that milk to produce goat milk soaps and lotion bars, making it a small-scale, diversified farm operation rather than a single-focus breeding program.
