Goats that Guarantee You To Smile!
These phenomenal meat
goats are perfect for the small family farm. They are treasured for their gentle
nature, safe handling, exceptional mothering skill, intelligence, easy care,
excellent health and parasite tolerance.
Tennessee Fainters,
Myotonics, Wooden-Legs, Nervous Goats - whatever you may call them, are an
American breed that is making a
come-back from the brink of extinction. Farmers have come to
realize their genetic contributions and its importance to agriculture. They
believe in preserving this American heritage breed for future generations.
Do they faint? No. When excited
or startled, they fall down with their legs sticking up in the air.
Scientists call it myotonia congenita. It is a recessive
genetic condition. When they are mated to another breed, this trait
disappears and the best of both qualities are carried over to their
offspring.
Like other goats, their
meat is low in fat and cholesterol. Although considered slow-growers, in a blind taste
test, Tennessee Fainters won. And, they have a higher meat to bone
ratio.
Myotonics are versatile. Their coats can be short, skirted, or long and silky. They come in all sizes, colors and patterns. They are eye-candy in the pasture and enjoy cleaning up the brush on your farm while offering the best fertilizer for your garden. Myotonic goats are an excellent livestock choice when pursuing an agriculture exemption for your land. Imagine lowering your taxes while having fun!
So, say Yes to Na-na-na. You'll be glad you did!
