Shady Acres Fainters

Shady Acres Fainters is a Fainting goat breeder in Winslow, AR, in northwestern Arkansas near Fayetteville. It has bred fainting goats for over a decade, holds membership in local goat associations, and performs routine health panels for genetic conditions.

The herd grazes freely across fenced pastures rich with native grasses, returning each evening to sheltered runs stocked with mineral blocks. Kidding stalls and gentle handling routines help kids grow accustomed to people from the first week of life. Preservation of historic fainting goat bloodlines is a guiding principle, and the farm’s early partnership with 4-H families underscores its role in community farming education. Visitors consistently remark on the goats’ calm, curious nature and solid hoof structure, evidence of careful breeding and natural husbandry. Each goat receives individual attention through temperature checks and regular hoof trimming to support lifelong health and temperament.
