White Oak Farm

White Oak Farm raises fainting (myotonic) goats in Del Rio, TN, Cocke County and the Great Smoky Mountains near Knoxville. Michael Freeman has been breeding fainting (myotonic) goats for several years, participates in regional livestock associations to follow breed standards and conducts regular health testing, including fecal counts, nutritional assessments and annual vaccinations.

He maintains detailed records for each animal, oversees routine veterinary checkups and shares breeding insights with fellow goat enthusiasts. The herd lives on rotating pastures with access to shelters, fresh forage and stocked minerals, while all kids are bottle-raised to encourage early socialization and gentle temperaments. Known for their calm dispositions and sturdy constitutions, these goats adapt well to homestead life and light farm work. Seasonal open-farm days and guided tours provide insight into small-scale goat husbandry and emphasize the farm’s thoughtful, hands-on approach to animal care.
