The ALBC (American Livestock Breed Concervancy) classifies the Myotonic "fainting" goat breed as THREATENED, which indicates that there are less than 1000 annual registrations in the United States and an estimated global population of less than 5000. The survival of the Myotonic goat breed is more endangered than any other non-feral goat breed. If you are financially able, please support the ALBC in their efforts to help ensure that this unique breed will be around for future generations to enjoy.
