Paradise Creek Fainters

Paradise Creek Fainters raise fainting (myotonic) goats in Denison, IA, Crawford County and western Iowa near Omaha. Founder Nikki Francois has been breeding these goats for several years and participates in American Dairy Goat Association programs, with routine CAE testing and foot health evaluations.

The goats live on mixed pastures with access to sheltered loafing areas, and daily handling ensures they adapt smoothly to family environments. Kids are introduced to social routines from an early age, fostering steady temperaments suited for small farms or homesteads. Paradise Creek Fainters emphasize sound conformation and balanced hoof trimming, reflecting a commitment to long-term herd wellness. The farm’s longstanding roots and hands-on approach contribute to gentle, healthy animals ready for lifetime bonds. Neighboring farm owners often note the goats’ calm demeanor and resilience across seasons. They receive a balanced diet of homegrown hay and mineral supplements, alongside access to clean water throughout the day.
