L & W Farms

L & W Farms raises fainting (Myotonic) goats in Florance, AL, in northwest Alabama near Huntsville.

The farm is overseen by Loria Lowry, and the herd receives regular veterinary checkups, nutritional planning and hoof trimming following recommended guidelines. Goats are housed in pasture-based pens with shelter access and spend daily time in small social groups to encourage natural behaviors.

The farmstead’s rural setting along Country Road 122 provides a calm environment valued by new and experienced breeders alike. This focus on gentle handling supports the goats’ ease around livestock guardians and families. L & W Farms maintains detailed records on lineage and health to ensure consistency in temperament and structure. Kids receive early handling from a family of farm dogs and adapt smoothly to mixed-livestock environments. Each goat is introduced to light training for lead walking and hoof handling to simplify routine care tasks.
