Pinksters Aspen Valley

Pinksters Aspen Valley specializes in fainting (myotonic) goats in Kalamazoo, MI, Southwest Michigan near Grand Rapids. Stephanie Pinkster has bred fainting (myotonic) goats for more than a decade, maintaining registrations with the American Goat Society and following recommended genetic health screenings. The herd lives on a pasture-based system with access to sheltered barn stalls, and daily handling helps each goat develop a calm, friendly temperament. A local large-animal veterinarian supports routine wellness checks and a customized vaccination schedule.

Several of the herd’s gentle goats have placed in local livestock shows, and some assist in pet therapy visits to area nursing homes. The farm’s century-old barn offers a quiet setting and the surrounding woodlots provide seasonal foraging. Pasture rotation and homegrown hay ensure balanced nutrition and hoof health year-round. New owners receive ongoing support and guidance on breeding practices and goat husbandry to foster a lasting connection.
