I've been downsizing goats for a couple years now and the current herd of does are all (mostly) bottle babies that I kept more for their personalities or my love for them than anything else. I primarily sell my goats for pets to people who just want a couple fun, friendly goats in their backyard and are willing to learn how to give them the best care they can.
Fainting goats are the BEST GOATS. Obviously I am a little biased as fainters are the only goats I have owned since 2006. They don't jump, as jumping makes them faint. They don't try and get out of fences, as they are a little afraid of what might be on the other side. They are quiet & they have great personalities. They are easy kidders and great mommas. They are parasite resistant and hardy goats that handle our MN weather.
Another fun fact about fainters is that they are made out of 99% sugar. This is why the slightest sprinkle will send them running for cover, before they melt. All fainters take this danger quite seriously and will knock down old ladies and babies to get to their shelter, so make sure they have a clear path to a good shelter with protection on at least 3 sides to keep them out of the rain, wind, snow etc. (okay, this may not be a fact... but you never know... it might be, you did read it on the internet and EVERYTHING on the internet is true)
In all seriousness, fainting goats don't ask for much, but they do need a good shelter, hay, grain (sometimes, not always) and basic care like hoof trimmings and occasional deworming. They need a GOAT more than anything else in the world though, and for this reason, I will never sell a single goat to someone without goats.
