Miniature Silky Fainting Goat

The Miniature Silky Fainting Goat is a unique and charming breed known for its striking appearance and gentle disposition. Originating as a cross between Tennessee Fainting Goats and miniature breeds, this breed is particularly admired for its long, silky coat, which closely resembles that of an Angora or a Silky Terrier dog. Available in a range of color patterns, their luxurious, flowing hair requires regular grooming to maintain its luster and prevent matting.

Characterized by their small stature, Miniature Silky Fainting Goats are compact and muscular, generally weighing between 50 to 70 pounds and standing about 17 to 25 inches at the shoulder. True to their lineage, they possess the myotonic trait, which can cause them to "faint" or stiffen and fall over when startled, though it is typically less pronounced than in full-sized Fainting Goats.

These goats are not only visually appealing but also boast a friendly and curious nature, making them excellent pets and companions. They are highly social animals, thriving in the company of other goats and farm animals, and are often praised for their calm and approachable demeanor. Miniature Silky Fainting Goats have become popular in shows and as part of hobby farms, appreciated for their aesthetic qualities and easy-going temperament.
