Myotonic Goats
It is said that the first Myotonic goats were brought to Tennessee by a farm laborer named John Tinsley
from Nova Scotia, Canada, in the 1800s.
Myotonic goats are known by many names (Myotonic, Tennessee Fainting, Texas Meat, Texas Wooden Leg, etc).
Despite the name “Fainting Goat”, Myotonic goats do not really faint. Due to a genetic muscle condition
called myotonia congenital, when they are startled or overly excited, their muscles experience prolonged
contractions causing them to stiffen (or freeze in place). If the goat loses its balance, it will fall over.
Once their muscles relax, they jump up and are off again.
Due to dedicated breeders and heightened awareness regarding what wonderful pets these goats make, the Myotonic goat has been upgraded from Critical to Threatened on the American Livestock Breed Conservancy Priority List.
