Hello, welcome to our farm in Hiwassee.  We are located in the mountains of South Western Virginia, on a 115 acre farm and have found a special joy in working to save the breeds of Tennessee Fainting Goats and Karakachan livestock guardian dogs.

Syncope Falls Farm
Syncope Falls Farm has never had a case of Johnes, CAE, or Caseous Lymphnitous (CL) in any of our goats.  But due to several inquiries by farms interested in our stock, we are having these tests performed on our herd to ensure buyers of the health of our Fainters.  On December 2008, we tested all of our herd over the age of 11 months - and all test results were negative.  We've had followup testing on July 28, 2009 and May 5, 2010.  All results have again come back as negative.   To continue our herd health efforts, we only purchase goats from farms that have also tested for Johnes, CAE or CL.  Once we bring them to the farm, they are quarantined for two months and retested again.  Our goal is to continue to raise healthy, happy goats!
