Wake 'n' Payne Acres

Wake ’n’ Payne Acres, fainting (myotonic) goats, Edinburg, VA, serves Rockingham County and the Shenandoah Valley near Harrisonburg. Nicole Payne has focused on breeding fainting goats for several years with attention to sound structure, gentle temperaments and easy-milking traits. Her herd participates in local breed association programs, undergoes periodic evaluations, and follows recommended genetic screening to ensure hardy, well-socialized stock.

All kids are raised in a family setting and receive regular health checks and hoof trimming on site. Animals live in spacious pastures with shelters facing natural slopes for good drainage. Gentle handling from the first week encourages calm interactions and introduces them to basic farm routines.

One customer recently noted their friendly nature and robust health after bringing home a pair of doelings. The farm’s rolling hills and mixed woodlands offer a diverse forage environment that supports natural foraging behaviors.
