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!!
Available Adult Goats
Racing for Home Nefertiti
Nefertiti is being reluctantly offered as a 3-year-old doe with amazing genetics and potential. She is a proven doe, producing a beautiful buckling in 2024. She was a sentimental retain as the last kid from our foundation doe, Sol-Orr’s Emma Leigh, and she is just as sweet and gentle as her dam. Unfortunately, as I work through the future of my program, Nefertiti’s kids would be too related to the herd to retain and as a result I am looking to place her in a herd where her genetics and disposition are needed. She’s a perfect companion doe, or a great addition to any breeding program.

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.

Racing for Home Maleficent
Maleficent is being hesitantly offered as a 4-year-old doe with amazing genetics and potential. She is a proven doe, producing two sets of flashy twins in the past two breeding seasons. She was sold as a baby, and returned to our herd when her new home did not work out. She’s rocked the show ring twice in her time with us, and her coat has returned to a stunning luster with minimal copper staining. She is aloof, likely due to her younger years, but very handleable when on leash or the grooming stand. She is a fan favorite in the community, but once again as I work through the future of my program, Mal is far too related and offers no option for variety of breeding to our bucks. She is best for a show or breeding household, or with someone content to have a pasture ornament.

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.
