High Hill Farm

High Hill Farm, fainting myotonic goats, Cutler, OH, is located in southeastern Ohio near Marietta. Owner Darren S Bartmess draws on years of small-scale animal husbandry to maintain a herd that adheres to recommended health testing protocols, including regular evaluations for lineage and genetic conditions. Goats live year-round on mixed grass pastures, access well-ventilated barns during wet or cold seasons, and receive daily hands-on socialization to encourage calm, approachable temperaments.

The farm emphasizes balanced conformation alongside the fainting myotonic breed’s hallmark reflex trait, selecting breeding pairs that combine sound structure with steady dispositions. Each animal’s development is tracked from birth with detailed records on growth, hoof care and vaccination schedules to support long-term wellness across the herd. This blend of traditional farm methods and sustainable practices reflects High Hill Farm’s commitment to preserving a resilient goat line for future enthusiasts.
