Wolford Myotonics

Wolford Myotonics, fainting (myotonic) goats, Spencer, IN, Owen County and the Bloomington area near Indianapolis. Shelby Wolford has been raising fainting goats for several years with careful herd management, selecting for sturdy conformation and the breed’s signature gentle nature. Routine veterinary checkups and genetic screening support long-term soundness.

Young goats are socialized from birth through daily handling and human interaction in spacious pasture rotations with weather-protected shelters. Regular hoof trimming and parasite management address health and comfort throughout the year. Kids begin rotational grazing by ten weeks to encourage digestive resilience and adaptability in family environments. Several local homesteads have noted the goats’ calm disposition and aptitude for small-scale farms. They follow a balanced forage and trace mineral supplementation plan to support milk production and overall vitality, and fall kidding seasons bring healthy kids suited to homesteads or breeding programs.
