JK Willett Farm

JK Willett Farm breeds fainting (myotonic) goats in Wickliffe, KY, serving Ballard County and the Paducah area. Its operation draws on years of hands-on experience and follows health screenings recommended for fainting goat genetics.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures and enjoys sheltered loafing areas, with daily interaction to foster a calm temperament. Each doe receives personalized attention during kidding season, with dedicated kidding pens for comfort and close monitoring. Kids are weaned gradually and have access to mineral-supplemented hay alongside pasture grazing. Well-maintained fencing and seasonal shade structures help protect the herd during Kentucky’s hot summer months.

Justin Willett emphasizes low-stress handling and socialization from an early age. The farm’s gentle approach has earned praise from fellow hobby farmers who note the goats’ sturdy build and even temperament and recognize their suitability as both companion animals and breeding stock.
