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 of farms interested in our stock, we are having these tests performed on our herd to ensure buyers of the health of our Fainters.
Breeders of Fainting Goats &
Karakachan Livestock Guardian Dogs
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. We continue to raise healthy, happy goats!
With Sider Sedefchev of BBPS Semperviva in Vlahi, Bulgaria. We bought these two new puppies back to the US on May 11, 2010
See our "Latest News" for our recent trip to Bulgaria to meet with BBPS Semperviva, attend the Third National Exhibition for Karakachan Dog, meet the officers of the association, and bring back two new female puppies to improve our blood lines. We have to thank the Sedefchev family for their exceptional hospitality.
We are often contacted by folks that are interested in establishing a fainting goat herd and are looking for "heritage" stock. As the original coloring of these goats was black and white and these are considered the "heritage" colors. We have a buck and a buckling remaining this year that would be excellent herdshires to start such a herd.

He is the poster child for our farm and he is an excellent fainter. We have also dressed him up in Elvis tribute as he has great bangs.

Solid black, excellent conformation, and should have bangs and long skirting. He will be an excellent herdshire.
We are again proud sponsors of the Valley of the Sun Fainting Goat Show being held in October in California. We also enjoyed entering their fun photo competition - click this link to see some of the categories that we won! http://www.ttt-ranch.com/goatshow/index.htm
