~*~2012 Herd Testing: negative for CL, CAE, Johnne's and Brucella. ~*~
Nestled in the saguaro studded foothills of the Sonoran Desert, Kiva de Chaco's is home to a small herd of Mini Silky Fainting goats. Our goal is to produce healthy, happy and gorgeous goats that not only conform to breed standards, but that also improves upon the breed. Our foundation goats came from various breeders across the US whose herds tested negative for CL, CAE and Johne's Disease. In April, 2012, we began herd testing for CL, CAE, Johne's and Brucella here at Kiva de Chaco's. All of our goats were tested including kids under 6 months of age. We are proud to report the results were all negative. Our herd is now officially closed.

Kiva de Chaco's is excited to be developing a line of long-haired miniature myotonic fainting goats, which I call my "lil Phatsos". They will be coated like the Silky and have the muscular, meaty build of your myotonic goat but in a more compact size. Phatso kids will be registered with the Myotonic Goat Registry (MGR). This project is why some of our goats are dual-registered.

Due to physical limitations, I cannot travel so do not show our goats. Nonetheless, I very much enjoy showing them off and do participate in some of the virtual fainting goat shows on the Internet. Avoiding contact with other goats and livestock and such facilities does have an upside: it substantially reduces the risk of disease transmission to our herd.
Being disabled myself, I am sensitive to the issue of differential/preferential treatment and the need for change. Kiva de Chaco's does not discriminate on the basis of disability or otherwise, nor do we condone such practices. We place our goats in appropriate homes - no games, no gimmicks, no politics, no strings attached.
Kiva de Chaco's is located in Desert Hills, Arizona, a small rural community north of Phoenix and east of I-17. We are a registered breeder with the Mini Silky Fainting Goat Association (MSFGA) and the Myotonic Goat Registry. Each and every one of our foundation goats was selected for certain desireable traits and is breeding quality or better. Each and every one is showcased on our website. What you see is what we have. We take pride in our goats and in our ownership of them. Kiva de Chaco's is about quality not quantity.
Our goat kids are family raised and receive lots of handling and individual one-on-one human attention from the very get-go. They are micro-chipped, CDT vaccinated, vet checked and registered with the respective registry before being sent off to their new homes. All kids going out of state will need a valid health certificate. That cost, along with those associated with shipping, is the buyer's responsibility, as is finding and making arrangements for any transportation needs. Please don't let transportation be an obstacle to getting the goat you want. We can recommend the services of several livestock haulers that we have used ourselves, and would be glad to provide contact information upon request. It is up to the buyer, however, to make the arrangements and pay for those services. We will do all we can on this end to make your experience at Kiva de Chaco's as enjoyable and as hassle-free as possible.
