Elsewhere Acres

Elsewhere Acres, fainting (myotonic) goats, Henderson, KY, Western Kentucky and the Ohio River Valley near Owensboro. Owned by Melissa Dietz, the farm has been raising this breed with careful attention to conformation and temperament. The goats are registered with leading breed associations, undergo regular health screenings in line with industry standards, and graze on rotational pasture with daily hands-on socialization in a calm, low-stress environment. Kids are raised in small family groups with access to a well-ventilated barn and sheltered feeding stations to encourage healthy growth.

The property blends small-scale hobby farming with structured breeding records, reflecting a dedication to preserving the breed’s characteristic hardiness. Young goats are introduced to common farm sights and sounds early on, supporting smooth transitions into new homes. Breed history and parentage are documented for transparent records, ensuring each kid’s lineage supports traceability. Visitors often note the goats’ friendly nature and the farm’s peaceful setting in western Kentucky’s rolling fields.
