The Byrd's

The Byrd's is a breeder of fainting (myotonic) goats in Magnolia, NC, serving Southeastern North Carolina near Wilmington. With its membership in national goat associations and routine health testing for common genetic traits, the farm upholds strong breeding standards. The goats live in a pasture rotation system with sheltered loafing areas and daily socialization to encourage calm temperaments.

Owner Courtney Byrd draws on local agricultural roots to keep detailed records of lineage and care practices. Prospective owners often appreciate the farm’s transparent approach to kidding schedules and early-age handling. The property includes five fenced paddocks shaded by mature pines, solar-powered waterers, a well-maintained kidding barn, and supplemental hay feeding during winter months. Regular consultation with a local veterinarian supports herd health and helps track weight gain and reproductive performance. The Byrd's prioritize sustainable pasturing and rotating water troughs to maintain soil fertility and animal hydration.
