Speer's Acres

Speer’s Acres is a breeder of fainting (myotonic) goats in Ponoka County, AB, in central Alberta near Edmonton. Owned by Sydnie Christie, it maintains an active membership with local livestock associations and follows routine health screening for genetic conditions. Kids are raised on open pasture with plenty of shade, learning social skills among siblings before joining the main herd. The farm’s approach emphasizes gentle handling and gradual exposure to different environments, which helps young goats develop steady temperaments.

Several of its kids have been recognized at community fairs for their calm nature and solid conformation. Neighbors often note the well-kept pens and balanced diet plans that support hearty growth through all seasons. Its breeding stock traces back to lines valued for longevity and low stress responses in small-farm settings. Visitors often comment on the calm atmosphere and barnyards designed to encourage natural foraging and exploration.
