Mise Farm

Mise Farm, fainting (myotonic) goats, Lenoir, NC, serves Caldwell County and the foothills near Hickory. The farm follows recommended health screenings and participates in national goat association programs to support robust, breed-standard stock while emphasizing balanced mineral supplementation. Kids are born on pasture and gently socialized from day one, living in a mixed-herd environment with daily handling, supervised group interactions, and access to clean shelter and fresh water.

Stephanie Mise brings a respectful approach to husbandry, balancing traditional grazing practices with careful record-keeping, regular performance evaluations, and a long-term focus on animal welfare. Pastures are rotated seasonally to maintain nutrition, reduce parasite loads, and integrate forage testing, while a small on-site barn offers shelter during inclement weather. Annual veterinary exams, including parasite panels and nutritional assessments, support ongoing herd health and inform breeding decisions.

Breeding records are kept electronically, tracking lineage, health outcomes, and hoof care training for each doe and buck. Community members note the goats’ sturdy build and predictable behavior, qualities that suit both hobby farms and educational programs and their consistent performance across different settings.
