Faintin Acre Farm

Faintin Acre Farm is a family-run operation that raises fainting (myotonic) goats in Garysburg, NC, serving northeastern North Carolina near Raleigh. They maintain memberships in both state and regional livestock associations and stay active at gatherings focused on breeding practices and herd management. All goats receive annual parasite checks, nutritional evaluations, and balanced mineral supplementation to support herd health. Wendy Byrum follows established health protocols, including regular veterinary care, routine hoof trimming, and tailored dietary supervision. Registered through recognized breed organizations, their goats undergo routine screening for common conditions to ensure well-being from birth.

Animals live on pasture with daily socialization, and youngsters are handled shortly after birth to develop calm temperaments and resilience. The farm’s layout features open barns and rotational pastures that offer fresh forage throughout the year. Community engagement through educational visits and local fairs highlights the farm’s long-standing commitment to fostering appreciation for goat husbandry across the region.
