The Homestead

The Homestead is a breeder of fainting (myotonic) goats in Greencastle, PA, Franklin County and the Cumberland Valley near Chambersburg.

Travis Glen Young has been raising fainting (myotonic) goats for several years and follows association guidelines along with routine health screenings. Each goat undergoes regular hoof trimming and parasite control as part of a comprehensive wellness protocol. Kids are raised in a pasture-based environment with daily handling to support early socialization and strong herd bonds. Adult goats have access to shelter, rotational grazing and mineral supplementation under careful husbandry.

The family farm combines a long history on the same land with a focus on gentle, resilient animals that adapt well to small farm settings. Herd sizes are kept modest to ensure individual attention at every stage of growth. Reviewers note the calm temperaments of the goats and appreciate the transparent communication about lineage and care.
