Minyard's Myotonic Goats

Minyard’s Myotonic Goats, fainting (myotonic) goats, Campbell, AS, are located in Delta County and northeast Texas near Dallas. Owner Ricky Minyard has been raising fainting goats for over a decade, focusing on health testing and registry compliance to maintain sound conformation.

Kids are raised in a pasture-based setting and introduced to human contact early, helping them develop calm temperaments suited for small farms and homesteads. The herd lives in rotational paddocks with sturdy shelter and mineral feeders, reflecting a philosophy that combines traditional husbandry with attentive daily observation. Each kidding season brings a mix of solid-colored and mottled coats, drawing interest from fiber artists and smallholders who appreciate the breed’s sturdy build. Through regular veterinary partnerships, the herd undergoes routine hoof trimming and parasite control, underscoring a commitment to preventative care. A background in local 4-H shows supports selective breeding for even temperaments and clarity of muscle tone.
