Hidden Stiffies

Hidden Stiffies, fainting (myotonic) goats, Newcastle, CA, serves Placer County and the Sacramento area. Brooke Castro has raised goats for over a decade and maintains active membership with the American Dairy Goat Association, ensuring health screening on every animal. Each kid grows up in a spacious barn and pasture environment where they receive daily social interaction, supervised handling, and a grain-forage diet tailored to goat health.

The farm’s approach blends traditional husbandry with year-round wellness checks from a local veterinarian and ongoing training to support friendly temperaments and herd stability. Hidden Stiffies traces its roots to a multi-generation California farm and shares occasional updates about kidding seasons and herd growth on community boards. A focus on careful sire selection and genetic diversity has led to sturdy offspring with balanced conformation and consistent milk production for sustainable small-scale dairy projects.
