Looking To Buy: Small goat farm somewhere near Baltimore, prefer at least 5 “fainting” goats

Have you ever tried to buy a small goat farm? It’s not the easiest thing to find online. Cows are one thing, but goats…whew. I can’t even find anything on Craigslist or Ebay! Oh, and the ones available aren’t even the right kind! So here’s my plea to you all- where are all the fainting goat farms?

As you may know, fainting goats (myotonic goats) have a neurological condition that causes their muscles to freeze for 10 seconds or so when they are startled. The result (seen above) is the goat becoming temporarily paralyzed (though not unconcious) regardless of whether they were running, standing or just walking about. Seems like a bizarre pet or animal to raise, know? Then you’re wondering why I am looking for a fainting goat farm?

Because in less than two weeks Kim will be having a milestone birthday (let’s call it her 21st) and her first birthday request came in: a fainting-goat farm. I was hoping the full kitchen, dining/bar area, backyard renovations were going to be sufficient…but she wants goats! I’m a lot easier to shop for, I just want 30 or so acres of vineyard area in Oregon or Northern California!

If anyone out there is looking to get rid of a small goat farm or a few fainting goats- let me know!
