They are a hardy breed not requiring extra care or pampering. Some Myotonic goats are more muscular than other breeds. The Myotonia acts as an isometric exercise for their muscles, such as a professional body-builder would have. By having Myotonia, some have powerful muscular bodies. These characteristics are transmitted to some degree in the crossbred offspring, especially offspring which are Myotonic themselves.
Myotonic goats are easy to catch and work with.
They do not jump and do not require any special type of fencing to keep them in. These goats are people oriented and are very sweet. A person need not bottle feed these goats to make them friendly. The kids are by nature 'lap babies' and love to be held. Myotonia starts its expression early, Myotonic episodes have even been documented in utero.
