TJK Acres

TJK Acres, fainting (myotonic) goats in Radcliffe, IA, is a family operation in Hardin County and central Iowa near Des Moines. Owned by Terri Greenlee, the farm has been home to well-bred herds for years, with routine health screening, hoof trimming and adherence to breed guidelines.

Goats at TJK Acres live in rotational paddocks with access to loose mineral supplements, fresh water and shelter designed to minimize stress through all seasons. Kids stay with their dams for the first eight weeks, and daily handling helps develop balanced temperaments that suit both small-scale farms and youth education programs.

The calm nature of fainting (myotonic) goats here stems from consistent socialization and a focus on low-stress husbandry practices. Set on gently rolling acres, the farm reflects a belief in quality over quantity, offering a sustainable model for homesteaders seeking steady genetics. A simple barn with open ventilation and deep bedding supports healthy growth without reliance on crowding or artificial heating.
