The Truth about the Fainting Goat Breed. The Fainting Goats are a rare breed. They were discovered in Tennessee around 1880. These goats have been studied for medical purposes and it was discovered that they have congenital myotonia which is condition present at birth. This condition makes them appear to faint, however, they donât really faint.
It is said that the first Myotonic goats were brought to Tennessee by a farm laborer named John Tinsley from Nova Scotia, Canada, in the 1800s. Myotonic goats are known by many names (Myotonic, Tennessee Fainting, Texas Meat, Texas Wooden Leg, etc).Despite the name Fainting Goat, Myotonic goats do not really faint.Due to a genetic muscle condition called myotonia congenital, when they are startled or overly excited, their muscles experience prolonged contractions causing them to stiffen (or freeze in place). If the goat loses its balance, it will fall over.espite the name Fainting Goat, Myotonic goats do not really faint.
