Rowland's Myotonic Goats

Rowland's Myotonic Goats is a breeder of Fainting myotonic goats in Kingston, TN, serving Roane County in East Tennessee near Knoxville. Under the care of Chereese N. Rowland, the operation has welcomed healthy kids for over a decade and participates in national goat breeder associations with routine health screenings. Each goat is raised in pasture-based pens with daily socialization, and kids are introduced to gentle handling from birth.

The 15-acre hillside farm uses rotational grazing to support herd health. All adult goats undergo annual testing for caprine arthritis encephalitis and caseous lymphadenitis to maintain a disease-free herd. The farm focuses on maintaining strong bloodlines while fostering a calm temperament, reflecting years of selective breeding and on-site observation. Visitors note the calm demeanor of the animals and the clarity of care practices on small tours. Kids go to homes with a health record and guidance on seasonal feeding.
