Shady Edge Farm

Shady Edge Farm is a breeder of fainting (myotonic) goats in Hillsborough, NC, Orange County and the Triangle near Durham. It has been raising fainting goats for several years and participates in herd health testing to maintain strong bloodlines.

Animals live in a pasture-based system where they roam freely among oak groves and receive daily care focused on gentle handling and early socialization. Visitors often remark on the goats’ calm temperament and friendly disposition, reflecting the farm’s hands-on approach. Rex Gandy combines small-scale care with focus on breed-specific characteristics to support healthy, robust animals.

Each kid receives an individual health assessment and nutrition plan, with access to mineral supplements and a clean shelter during winter months. The farm adheres to American Goat Society guidelines and maintains thorough records for each animal. This commitment ensures families and breeders receive goats with sound structure and well-documented lineage.
