Twin Bridge Farms

Twin Bridge Farms, fainting (myotonic) goats, Maroa, IL, in central Illinois near Decatur. Owner Dale Aupperle has worked with fainting (myotonic) goats for over a decade under guidance from regional livestock associations and follows health-testing protocols for CAE and CL.

Kids and adults live in rotational pastures bordered by shade trees, and all animals receive daily handling to support early socialization and gentle temperaments. Habitats feature weatherproof shelters and clean bedding that are refreshed regularly, reflecting a focus on low-stress management and natural behaviors.

The farm’s family atmosphere and commitment to responsible breeding produce goats noted by several local 4-H members for their calm disposition and sturdy build. Ongoing support and guidance are available for new owners adjusting to herd integration, kidding seasons, and general wellness. Feeding routines include a balanced mix of hay, grains and mineral supplements planned to support lactation cycles and optimal body condition.
