Details
The Fainting Goat is known by a number of other descriptive titles such as: nervous, stiff-legged, wooden-legged, etc. The Fainter is a normal goat in every way except that they have a hereditary muscle condition called myotonia. (combination of recessive genes) Myotonia causes their muscles to lock-up or stiffen when startled or excited. Fainters do not actually faint or lose consciousness. They just get stiff, lose their balance and fall over. Their minds are fully alert the entire time they are down. It has been determined that the animals exhibit no signs of pain or harm of any kind and this condition does not lessen the goats lifespan. Properly taken care of a Fainting Goat can live for 12 to 15 years. Fainters come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They are very gentle, make excellent pets and are wonderful mothers and easy kidders. Fainting goats are lovable and make wonderful pets as well as breeding stock. They are extremely hardy and happy. Some individuals are extra friendly to people and literally adopt their masters and shower them with affection. HillBilly Acres raises nothing but fainters (Myotonic) goats and prefer they all go to a good home where the breed is understood. We will not sell any goats for a \"circus\" act.
