White Oak Valley

White Oak Valley, fainting (myotonic) goats, McDonald, Tennessee, in the Sequatchie Valley near Chattanooga. Kim Fisher has been raising fainting goats for over a decade and maintains memberships with regional livestock associations while adhering to thorough health testing, routine vaccinations and regular hoof trimming. The herd grazes on gently rolling pastures bordered by wooded shelter areas, and each kid enjoys daily handling to foster calm temperaments.

The farm’s approach combines family traditions of sustainable pasture management with careful record-keeping to preserve key breed traits and overall hardiness. Visitors to scheduled farm days often note the goats’ steady dispositions, sturdy build and smooth myotonic muscle tone that characterizes this breed. An on-site barn offers spacious stalls, straw bedding and accessible run-in areas, ensuring comfort through seasonal changes and consistent socialization in a natural setting. Printed breed guides and a small library of husbandry manuals reflect a dedication to sharing knowledge about fainting goat care with both new and experienced keepers.
