Haywire Acres

Haywire Acres Fainting (Myotonic) goat operation in Portage la Prairie, MB is located in the Central Plains of Manitoba near Winnipeg. Owner Faye Legault has raised fainting goats for several years and is active in local and national goat associations, ensuring each animal is health screened for common genetic conditions.

All breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary checks and conformation evaluations before joining the herd. The herd grazes on pasture with access to a three-sided shelter and a balanced grain supplement, and goats are handled daily so they become accustomed to farm routines. Haywire Acres emphasizes structural soundness and calm temperaments, traits that appeal to smallholders and first-time goat keepers.

Several herd sires have placed at regional agricultural fairs, underscoring careful selection practices. Prospective owners appreciate the openness of the operation and the ongoing support offered to those new to maintaining fainting goats.
