Robson Farms

Robson Farms raises fainting (myotonic) goats in Kiron, IA, within Crawford County and the Loess Hills near Sioux City. Allyson Robson has cared for fainting goats for over a decade and ensures their herd undergoes regular health screenings recommended by breed associations.

The goats live on rotational pastures with sturdy shelters and shade trees, and young stock receive daily handling to encourage calm temperaments. Bedding is refreshed daily, and natural forage supplements their diet during colder months. Vaccinations and deworming follow a veterinarian-approved schedule to support overall herd health and growth.

The farm operates on land in the family since the 1970s, reflecting a quiet dedication to animal welfare and sustainable practices. Fainting behavior in myotonic goats adds a playful and memorable aspect to daily life without affecting their vitality. Visitors appreciate the transparent care routines when they observe daily grooming, hoof trims and seasonal breeding cycles up close.
