Quete Ranch

Quete Ranch is a fainting (myotonic) goat breeder in Billings, MT, serving Yellowstone County and the Yellowstone Valley near Billings. Owner Michael Dong has been raising fainting (myotonic) goats for over ten years and is a member of the American Dairy Goat Association with routine health screening for common genetic traits. The goats are housed on rotating pasture paddocks and receive daily handling to encourage social habits and comfort around people.

Visitors often note the gentle nature of the kids, reflecting a breeding focus on temperament and sound structure. The operation follows a low-stress weaning process and keeps detailed records to guide care and breeding decisions. In winter the herd moves into well-ventilated barns that protect from harsh weather while preserving airflow. Each goat’s lineage is documented to maintain genetic diversity and support overall herd health. The ranch practices sustainable pasture management and prioritizes natural forage supplemented with high-quality hay during lean months.
