Ramage Fainter Acres

Ramage Fainter Acres is a breeder of fainting (myotonic) goats in Princeton, MN, central Minnesota near Minneapolis. The farm has over a decade of experience caring for myotonic goats, following breed association guidelines and conducting routine health checks for clarity of lineage.

Each kid is raised at the edge of a wooded pasture, with daily handling to foster social bonds and early exposure to hoof trimming and grooming. Adult goats graze on rotational paddocks and have access to sheltered feeding areas stocked with hay and mineral supplements. Owners have remarked on the calm temperament and sturdy structure of the herd, qualities passed down through selective pairing.

Ramage Fainter Acres integrates sustainable practices by composting bedding and rotating pastures to promote soil health and plant diversity. Melissa J. Ramage also oversees the breeding program, keeping detailed records on lineage and kidding dates to support genetic diversity.
