Red Barn Fainting

Red Barn Fainting, fainting (myotonic) goats in Mendon, IL, West Central Illinois near Quincy. Operated by Kelsey D Healey, the farm follows recognized breed association standards and keeps detailed records of lineage and health history for each animal. All goats undergo regular veterinary screenings, vaccinations, and hoof trimming as part of a consistent wellness routine.

The herd grazes across rotational pastures rich in mixed grasses and legumes, and young kids are handled gently from the first week to promote trust. Shelter in a spacious barn offers clean straw bedding, natural light, and sheltered runs for outdoor access year-round. The operation emphasizes low-stress management with daily social enrichment and individual attention to support calm temperaments.

Many visitors note the goats’ quiet, friendly demeanor and adaptability to both hobby farms and small acreage settings. The farming style reflects respect for animal welfare and a steady focus on breeding for reliable, robust lines.
