Lickskillet Acres

Lickskillet Acres, fainting (myotonic) goats, Adger, AL, operates in Jefferson County and the Birmingham area. It has been active in the American Goat Society and follows rigorous health testing for each herd member, including regular hoof trimming, vaccination against common caprine diseases and annual veterinary wellness exams.

Each goat is raised on rotating pasture, with daily handling to encourage calm behavior and early socialization for children and first-time goat keepers. The herd shelters in a ventilated barn with straw bedding and free-choice minerals, and turnout areas feature varied forage for natural browsing. Owner Beth Kornegay draws on her farm’s multi-generation roots to blend traditional husbandry with gentle handling techniques. Lickskillet Acres also maintains transparent records and provides follow-up guidance for new owners, reflecting a commitment to goat well-being beyond the point of sale. The goats often appear at regional livestock showcases, where their calm temperament is appreciated by visitors, and several have earned recognition in local breed evaluations.
