Hello, we are April and Wes Hardin. Our small farm is located in the mountains of Northeast TN, near the towns of Elizabethton and Johnson City TN. We raise and sell quality Registered Tennessee Fainting Goats. They are also called Myotonic Goats, and are prized and known for fainting or going stiff legged when startled. Our herd tested negative for CAE, CL, and Johne's annually since 2013. Current negative test of our entire herd recent as of May 2021. We perform the FAMACHA method for worming as well as performing fecals regularly.
Our new Guardian girls, Kirmizi and Cilli. Born 09/11/2018 at Moxie Farms, Trimble, MO. Thanks to Matt and Jennifer Vahldick…..We love our new girls!

The Fainting Goat can be traced back to the 1880’s - A farm worker named John Tinsley who traveled from place to place (perhaps looking for work) came to central Tennessee to the farm of Dr. Mayberry with four
unusual goats that got stiff and fell down. It is believed that John Tinsley came from Ireland by way of Nova Scotia, Canada. After only a year, John Tinsley moved on and either sold or left his goats (one buck and three does) on Dr. Mayberry's farm. Dr. Mayberry began to breed the unusual goats and found that their babies got stiff and fell down, too. Thank you for visiting our site, God Bless. |
