Heart Of A Hunter Ranch

Heart Of A Hunter Ranch raises fainting (myotonic) goats in Mooresville, IN, in Johnson County and southern Indiana near Indianapolis. The ranch follows recognized industry health standards, including scheduled veterinary exams, comprehensive parasite management, and genetic screenings tailored for the myotonic gene. Detailed recordkeeping of lineage, kidding dates, and health histories supports informed breeding and helps maintain consistent herd quality.

Kids spend the first weeks in spacious, grassy pastures with daily gentle handling to encourage friendly temperaments and early adaptation to farm life. Weather-protected shelters, fresh water stations, and rotating grazing paddocks encourage natural behaviors, strong hoof health, and robust growth. Nutrition plans combine high-quality hay, mineral supplements, and access to browse plants, adjusted seasonally to meet changing needs.

The breeding program emphasizes straight-back conformation and calm dispositions, producing goats well-suited for small farms, homesteads, and educational settings. Owners appreciate the ranch’s transparent sharing of health records, ongoing guidance after placement, and willingness to answer questions long-term.
