Old Timers Farm

Old Timers Farm is a fainting (Myotonic) goat breeder in Franklin Grove, IL, serving northern Illinois near Rockford. With over a decade of experience and membership in regional and national goat associations, it follows standard health screening and genetic evaluations common to fainting goats.

Kids are raised in open pastures with daily handling, rotational grazing, and shelters that encourage natural exercise and social interaction. All goats receive regular hoof trimming, seasonal vaccinations, and routine dental checks to support long-term health. Each kid is socialized with children and other livestock to foster adaptability in diverse farm environments.

The operation balances traditional husbandry methods with detailed lineage records to maintain the breed’s signature calm disposition. Goats arrive well-socialized and accustomed to farm life through early exposure to handling and varied environments. The farm’s quiet setting on gently rolling pastures provides an ideal environment for goats to thrive.
