 Fainting Goats Don’t Faint
While many Myotonic goat breeders refer to their animals as “fainting goats,” Myotonic goats don’t actually faint. They’re affected by a genetic disorder called myotonia congenita that, when the goats are startled or scared, causes skeletal muscles, especially in their massive hindquarters, to contract, hold and then slowly release. Episodes are painless and the goats remain awake (they often continue chewing food they have in their mouths) until the stiffness passes. According to Myotonic Goat Description, 2005, by D. Phillip Sponenberg, DVM, Ph.D.

The Myotonic goats are a friendly goat which makes them good pets. They also make a very good meat goat with meat to bone ratio 4 to 1 making them higher meat to bone ratio then the boar goat.

The Nigerian Dwarf is a miniature breed of dairy goat originating in West Africa and developed in the United States. The balanced proportions of the Nigerian Dwarf give it the appearance of the larger breeds of dairy goats. The Nigerian Dwarf has a higher percentange of butterfat and produces a good  quantity milk for it's small size.  The Nigerian Dwarf is known for being reproductively sound. The Nigerian will breed all year round with the buck kids becoming fertile as young as 3 months of age. It is not uncommon for Nigerian does to produce from two to five kids.
