These are perfect for families who want a supply of milk, but less volume than a regular milking dairy breed. Some Myotonic goats feature beautiful blue eyes. Others sport patterned tri-colors. The heavier muscled types are sought out by the meat goat industry. Their primary roles are for fine breeding stock, and they are being used in crossbreeding programs with the Boer breed to produce fine market animals.
Myotonic goats are a very loving, gentle breed of goat.
They may be horned, polled or disbudded. The horns of this breed may be left on. Horns are also a cooling system, or way of distributing heat which is a benefit to goats located in the southern and southwestern states. We leave the horns on the bucks as well. They simply walk around and stay out of trouble.
