Wild Child Farm

Wild Child Farm is a breeder of fainting (myotonic) goats in Cookeville, TN, on the Cumberland Plateau near Nashville. Its owner, Becky Westmoreland, has tended this herd for over ten years and holds membership in local goat breeder associations. Every adult animal receives annual health screenings, including hoof trimming and parasite monitoring, to support a strong genetic foundation.

The goats roam on rotational pasture with seasonal shelter, and kids enjoy daily handling to foster trust and social ease. Feed is supplemented with locally sourced hay and mineral mixes crafted on the farm to complement grazing. The practice of selective breeding emphasizes gentle temperaments and structural soundness, reflecting Becky’s commitment to ethical stewardship.

Many of these goats are selected by homesteaders and educational programs for their calm nature and easy care. The farm’s heritage draws on a generational tradition of small-scale husbandry, grounding each breeding decision in respect for animal welfare.
