The Half Ass Goat Farm

The Half Ass Goat Farm breeds fainting (Myotonic) goats in Platte Center, NE, in the Great Plains near Omaha. It is managed by Neal Olmer, who has raised small herds in the area for several seasons and follows recommended herd health protocols in partnership with a local veterinarian.

Goats live in a pasture rotation system that emphasizes grazing diversity, fresh browse, and sturdy shelter built on a gentle hillside. From the first day, kids are calmly handled to encourage trust and steady temperament, reflecting the farm’s quiet, hands-on approach. Sustainable practices guide pasture rest cycles and natural forage growth, supporting both animal welfare and soil health. Herd records are kept for each goat’s lineage, helping maintain consistency in hardy genetics and friendly dispositions. Visitors appreciate the approachable setting and the chance to learn farm routines in a relaxed, family-run environment.
