Two Owls Farm

Two Owls Farm, fainting (myotonic) goats, Carlton, OR, in the Willamette Valley near Portland. Melissa Power has been raising fainting goats for several years, following best practices for health testing, keeping detailed pedigrees and records, and working to preserve the breed’s gentle disposition.

Kids are born and raised on pasture with daily socialization to encourage a calm temperament and strong immunity. The herd grazes on mixed grasses and has access to wooden barns that provide clean bedding and ample ventilation year-round. This small-scale farm setup allows personalized attention to each animal from birth to weaning.

A focus on natural husbandry and thoughtful management helps maintain a healthy herd and consistent kid deliveries each season. Does and bucks receive routine screening for caprine arthritis encephalitis and caseous lymphadenitis under the guidance of a state veterinarian. Visitors often remark on the farm’s peaceful setting and the approachable nature of the herd.
