Ziemer Farms

Ziemer Farms breeds fainting myotonic goats in New London, MN, west central Minnesota near Minneapolis. Ashley Bonnema has more than a decade of experience and holds membership in regional goat associations, with all breeding stock tested for CAE and CL.

Kids are raised in pasture-based pens with regular handling to encourage calm temperaments, and breeding groups are limited in size to ensure individual attention and optimal health monitoring. The farm’s history as a century-old dairy property informs its focus on sustainable land practices and quality feed. Ziemer Farms typically welcomes kids in spring and fall, aligning with natural herd cycles.

Recent feedback highlights gentle nature and good health of the goats across multiple seasons. On-site shelter provides protection year-round and rotation grazing helps maintain pasture health, while regular hoof trimming and targeted mineral supplementation support overall herd vitality. Each goat’s lineage is documented to preserve key traits of the breed over successive litters.
