Trahans Mini Herd

Trahans Mini Herd, fainting (myotonic) goats, Kaplan, LA, Vermilion Parish and the Acadiana region near Lafayette. Lyndsey Ferris has been breeding these goats for several years and follows health-testing protocols to ensure strong, healthy herds. The herd descends from carefully chosen foundation stock selected for robust health, adaptability to local conditions, and friendly demeanor.

Animals graze on mixed forage pastures with daily access to ample dry shelters, and gentle handling supports early socialization. Kidding takes place in clean indoor pens, allowing close monitoring of newborns and fostering calm temperaments.

The small scale of the operation lets Lyndsey focus on individual care and observe each goat’s development. These fainting myotonic goats are noted for steady temperaments and ease of handling, qualities that visitors often remark upon. Lyndsey often attends local goat shows, sharing knowledge and learning best practices from other breeders.
