Ivy Fields Farm Fainters

Ivy Fields Farm Fainters, fainting (myotonic) goats, Weanerville, NC, in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville. From the start, Dina Miller has refined bloodlines through comprehensive health testing for myotonia and nutritional traits, while maintaining registration with the American Goat Society.

Daily herd checks, parasite screening and routine veterinary visits ensure ongoing well-being and early detection of health issues. The herd grazes on rotational pastures with clover, alfalfa and native warm-season grasses to support balanced nutrition and promote soil health. Kids receive daily handling from birth to encourage gentle temperaments and strong social bonds among the herd, with a focus on early human interaction.

Selections from regional fairs and agricultural exhibitions contribute sturdy conformation and calm dispositions prized on small farms and family homesteads. Farm records reflect meticulous attention to sustainable breeding goals, emphasizing long-term resilience and consistency across generations.
