Miniature Silky Fainting Goats
“If we didn’t live venturously, plucking the wild goat by the beard, and trembling over precipices, we should never be depressed, I’ve no doubt; but already should be faded, fatalistic and aged.”
Miniature Silky Fainting Goats are a unique new breed of goats. A long flowing coat, top knots, and beards are the ideal look of a Mini Silky. One has only to look at the canine breed - Silky Terrier - to get the idea. Mini Silkies are not required to faint, but Myotonic (fainting) goats are the foundation of this breed, with a few older lines of Nigerian Dwarf goats sprinkled in here and there.
All of our goats are registered with the Miniature Silky Fainting Goat Association (MSFGA).
They are tested and negative for CL (Caseous Lymphadenitis), CAE (Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis), and Johne’s disease. Goats are regularly treated with CDT and wormed.
All are 100% fainters. Moreover, they are all loved and spoiled beyond belief!!
2024 Breeding Line-Up
It's an exciting breeding season for us! Ok, I say that every year. 2024 is an exciting year for our kidding schedule, with two new Master Champions and several new does joining the lineup. Each Dam and Sire has their own detailed listing with pictures and pedigrees posted if you need to check genetics. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or to reserve your kid now. As babies are born in March I will post pictures, details, and availability as well. Our line-up carries the potential for blue eyes and polled kids - both will be limited due to the nature of genetics, so if either trait interests you be sure to get in early!
Racing for Home Jacey
x
MCH Flying J Flash Forward
Jacey is an amazing doe that was slow to mature to full glory, but now that she has, she’s stunning. Only lacking in headdress, she kids naturally with multiples, and throws tons of goodness into her kids, including her super laid-back personality. Her daughters of several generations have graced the herd and brought Grand Champion titles to the line. Paired with Master Champion Flash, these kids will be incredible. These kids have the potential to be polled.

The colors Jezebel throws to her kids are just what you want in your herd - delicate yet noticeable and just a ton of fun to watch. Jezebel has earned two of her Master Champion legs in the ring, and carries no undercoat at all, passing that trait to her kids frequently. Jezebel has been recognized multiple times by judges stating that she has perfect conformation which she has also proven to pass to her kids. Santa strolled into the ring as a Senior Buck and owned it! He finished his Master Champion legs and earned a Best in Show. These kids will be an amazing addition to any herd and should be a target for any show lineup.

MCH KE Paradys Denali
x
MCH Flying J Flash Forward
You can’t get more champion genetics into a breeding pair than this one! Denali couldn’t be stopped in the ring and pulled her Master Champion title with ease. Flash has been retired from the ring for several years, earning his Master Champion title when he was but a yearling buck. There is no doubt that these kids will have the potential to be extreme coated - both parents regularly need a trim so they can walk without stepping on their own coats! The amazing health, conformation, and longevity of these lines are second to none. Flash is still easily siring kids at almost 9 years old! Kids have the potential of being polled.

Racing for Home Misty Morning

BIS MCH Bear Creek Phineas
What can I say about this pair, other than it’s going to be one to watch. Misty carries 3 Reserve Grand Champion titles, 2 as a junior doe and one as a senior for the first time in that class. She then went on to collect 2 of her 3 Master Champion legs as a Senior Doe. I have no doubt that she will finish her MCH journey soon. Phineas rocked the show ring as a yearling, sweeping the shows to earn not just a Master Champion title, but also Best in Show. Both dam and sire carry straight, silky coats with minimal undercoat. In addition, both Misty and Phineas are smaller in stature, with all the femininity and elegance this breed should show. This is a pair to watch for kids that have the potential to hit all the things - amazing coat, no undercoat, perfect conformation, and blue eyes.

Racing for Home Maleficent

BIS MCH Full Circle Santa Baby
Another one to watch. There may not be an MCH title for Mal yet, but she has blossomed into a stunning doe with long, silky black coat. And now that her sun bleaching is just about grown out, she is striking in the pasture. Paired with Santa who crushed it in the ring to earn his Master Champion title and Best in Show, the kids from this will have it all going on. Smaller in stature, coat for miles, and minimal undercoat. Not to mention there could be some super flashy color combos highlighting the black and white patterning in unique and fun ways. I am personally eyeballing this pairing for a keeper. Maleficent was bred here on the farm, rejoined our herd in 2022, and paired with Santa I expect to see coat practically exploding off these kids.

Racing for Home Nefertiti
x
BIS MCH Bear Creek Phineas
This pairing is so close to in my heart. Nefertiti descends directly from our foundation doe. Sol-Orr’s Emma Leigh and was sired by MCH Flying J Flash Forward. In the last 18 months as she matured into a 3-year-old doe, she is exhibiting signs of all the right stuff. Paired with newly minted, Best in Show and MCH Phineas, these kids will have minimal undercoat with the potential for extreme coats and headdresses. Nefertiti is directly related to Jacey and Misty in our herd and has developed into the same type of balanced goat - blending the personality for a steady and loveable companion, the ability to kid multiples easily and naturally, and the potential for developing into a showstopper in the ring or the pasture. With fun colors and flashy looks, these kids should be everything you want and more! Kids will have the potential for blue eyes.

Racing for Persephone

BIS MCH Bear Creek Phineas
The long-awaited pairing is here! When I picked up Phineas as a baby buck, the first thing I told him is that he will have his first date with Persephone. Alas, that turned out to not be true - ‘Seph is so small that I waited an extra year to introduce her to the breeding line up. But now it’s here! Persephone is a very petite doe dripping with elegance. She has a silky, extreme coat with tons of headdress and absolutely no undercoat She is consistently in the top of her class in the ring, and while her day hasn’t yet come, it will. Paired with newly minted, Best in Show and MCH Phineas, these kids will have minimal undercoat with the potential for extreme coats and headdresses. Kids will have the potential for blue eyes.

Master Champion Flying J Flash Forward
Flash is the guy that really kick started our herd. Unfortunately, that means that he is also very related to the does that are of breeding age now, and he isn’t getting the starring role in our line-up. At 9 years old he is a bit long in the tooth, but still throwing gorgeous kids. He’s extremely sweet natured and has no problems being handled for all grooming chores. Flash is polled and adds a ton of coat and head furnishings to his kids. If you need a buck that can improve a herd quickly, this is your guy!
Available to the right herd - $500
Racing for Home Jezebel
Jezebel is just one leg shy of her Master Champion status, and she simply aged out of the competition as the younger generations have surpassed her coat length and head furnishings. She was continuously recognized in the ring as having near-perfect confirmation, being pulled to the front of the judge’s line-up as an example of correct confirmation. If she had just a few more bangs, she may have pulled that MCH title off! She is being offered as a 7-year-old doe to someone who needs to bring correct body type and stance to their breeding program. I have retained her daughter, and a granddaughter in my herd.
Available to the right breeding program - $700
Terms of Sale
Reservations are taken on planned breedings that appear on our for sale page in the order in which they are received. Once the kids have arrived you will be notified if the kid you requested is or is not available. At that time, we will email or mail photos and/or arrange a visit to the farm to view the kid. Once you have seen the kid and confirmed your intent to purchase we require a non-refundable deposit of $100.00 to hold the kid until pick up time. All goats must be paid for in full before they leave Racing for Home Farm.
We reserve the right to retain any and all kids from any breeding.
Kids are registered with MSFGA (Miniature Silky Fainting Goat Association) at the time of purchase. All kids are tattooed, microchipped, disbudded (if required), castrated (if wethers), and have received their first vaccinations. All of our kids are inspected by a veterinarian and we guarantee that all goats are healthy and free from any visible defects at the time they leave the farm. Should health problems or physical defects become apparent at a later date, we cannot allow the goat to be returned to our farm for bio-security reasons. However, if a veterinarian has determined that a problem existed at birth, or was caused by mismanagement at our farm, we will make every effort to provide satisfaction to the buyer.
We cannot accept responsibility for a goat that does not meet your expectations at maturity. There are no guarantees of potential. Each of us accepts that risk with every goat, or other animal, we purchase.
While we prefer that goats are picked up at the farm, we will ship out of Flemington, New Jersey. The buyer is responsible for all associated shipping costs including crate, veterinary tests/certificates, air fare, fuel, etc. We will not ship a kid less than 10 weeks old and will not ship when weather presents threats due to time of year, temperature or other conditions that might be hazardous to the kid's health.
With purchases of several goats, we may be able to deliver (within a certain number of miles) or help arrange transportation. Call us to discuss.
