Miniature Silky Fainting Goats
A relatively new and unique breed that is referred to have a terrier look about them. The long silky texture facial and body hair are what we are striving for. This look is harder to achieve in the does.
In this breed most carry the myotonic gene as the name refers but not all Mini Fainters faint. Some of the foundation stock used did not carry the myotonic gene.The standard for this breed does not require them to faint.
The breed standard adopts the ideal height for bucks as 23.5 - 25 inches at the withers or under. Does ideal height is 22.5 - 23.5 inches at the withers or under.
