J and N Boot Farm

J and N Boot Farm raise fainting (myotonic) goats in Brookland, AR, in the Arkansas Delta near Jonesboro. With more than ten years of breeding experience, they maintain detailed records and follow recommended health testing and parasite management protocols. As members of regional goat associations, they stay updated on best practices for genetic health and herd welfare.

They raise their herd on open pasture with rotating paddocks and three-sided shelters lined with fresh straw. Daily socialization and gentle handling help goats adapt to farm routines, and each animal receives individual health checks and routine hoof care. The farm’s spring kidding season takes place in a temperature-controlled barn, where attentive kidding jugs ensure a safe start for kids. A recent review praised the farm’s patient approach and clear guidance for youth members, noting the calm temperament and glossy coats common among their goats. They also maintain native shrubs and companion poultry to support ecological diversity and offer shelter for beneficial wildlife.
