Mending Wall's Farm

Mending Wall’s Farm, fainting (myotonic) goats, Assonet, MA, Southeastern Massachusetts near Fall River. Ed Lowe is focused on fainting (myotonic) goats and follows established guidelines for health monitoring, nutritional assessments, and regular hoof care throughout each stage of their lives. Since establishing the farm in Assonet on family land, he has cared for multiple generations of these gentle, hardy goats adapted to New England climates.

Their well-managed herd grazes on rotational pasture bordered by woodlands and enjoys open shelters that offer shade in summer and protection in winter. Young goats receive early socialization through hands-on handling and supervised herd interactions to encourage calm temperaments suited to both farm and family settings. Feed blends high-quality hay, grains, and mineral supplements specifically balanced to support growth, lactation, and overall vitality in fainting goats.

All goats have clear pedigrees and undergo routine veterinary checks for parasite management, vaccinations, and hoof health. This thoughtful approach cultivates steady-tempered animals well suited to small-scale homesteads, educational farms, and mixed livestock environments.
