LUA Fainting Freida This is Marlene. We brought her to our farm the end of March. Marlene came from 2 previous families. They must have given her lots of attention because she is the most friendly goat. She is fun to be around. We are so excited about her colors and can hardly wait to breed her so we can see what great colors we get. We love her.
The name "Fainting" goat is a bit misleading because they do not actually faint. They have a genetic problem with relaxing muscles. When they get startled or surprised their muscles lock up and the goat then sometimes falls over. Hench the name "Fainting" Goat. Older goats are more adapt at leaning against a fence or barn and so they don't exhibit this trait as mush as younger goats. It's kind of like doing isometrics exercises and so these goats have about 40% more meat than a comparably sized goat. They are also known in some pars of the U.S. as "Nervous" goats, and in Texas as "Stiff-legged" goats. A fainting goat averages between 17-25 inches in height, and weighs between 50 and 165 pounds. They are NOT miniture goats. They can be horned, disbudded(dehorned), or polled (naturally hornless). Their coats can be long or short, but never curly like Angoras. They come in a varity of colors including black, tan, red, brown and white. Some people prefer them in black and white only, others breed for as much color as possible.
Fainting goats have bulgy eyes which are very unusual and which distinguish them from other breeds. They also have very long ears that stand out to the side of their head. They are very calm animal and make excellent pets. They are a herding animal, and should therefore be kept with at least two or three of their own kind.
