Shootingstar Farm

Shootingstar Farm, fainting (myotonic) goats, Roy, WA, is nestled in Pierce County in western Washington near Tacoma. The farm has been raising fainting goats for five years with regular veterinary care and participates in breeding programs through the American Dairy Goat Association. Animals graze daily on pastureland with access to a sheltered barn and receive early socialization to support calm temperaments.

Offspring have earned ribbons at local agricultural fairs and find roles in small homesteads or therapy programs. Lisa Iliff emphasizes transparent health records, sharing vaccination and hoof care logs with each new owner. Visitors are welcome to observe herd routines and learn basic goat husbandry from the farm’s experience.

Their diet includes a mix of locally sourced hay and mineral supplements formulated for small ruminants, and ongoing support by phone or email helps new owners with breeding questions or health checks. Kids are gently handled from birth so they adapt smoothly to family environments.
