Lookout Mountain Growers

Lookout Mountain Growers, a breeder of fainting (myotonic) goats in Snow Camp, NC, operates within Alamance County and the Piedmont Triad near Greensboro. Harriet O’Rear has more than a decade of experience raising fainting goats and follows guidelines from recognized associations for herd health testing, parasite control, and genetic screening.

The herd grazes on rotational pasture, with wooden shelters and natural shade provided to support their comfort during warm months. Daily handling and exposure to family activities help maintain gentle temperaments, while kidding pens are cleaned and monitored to ensure kid health from birth.

The operation began on a small farm and now emphasizes preservation of myotonic traits alongside sound structural conformation through selective breeding practices. Visitors describe the goats as calm and curious, noting the breeder’s attentive record keeping and transparent sharing of health histories. Breeding stock is available seasonally, with each animal assessed for overall soundness and temperament, reflecting the farm’s focus on responsible husbandry.
