Some climb just fine. All depends on the individual goat and how much myatonina it has. Myatonia is the official name for the genetic disorder these goats have. Also has a disease name and sometimes exists in humans. I've known a few I suspected of having it (half kidding). When humans have it, it's called Thompsen's disease, even though it's a genetic thing, and not an illness you can catch. I raised them for 20 years. They come in varying degrees of the "lockup syndrome", and those that have it real bad tend not to climb things. Those that don't have it bad climb just like any other goat. They never actually faint, just get stiff and some keel over and can't get back up for awhile. Even when in full "faint", they are awake and will often eat if you hand them some grain. So, seems even when their legs lock up, their mouths don't. When you register a Faiting Goat, it gets tested and rated for how much it locks up. The ones that have it the most are rated as "premium." Here's a registry paper of one of my old premium Fainter's. Also one photo of a goat starting to go into lockup-mode, with her legs getting stiff. In some areas, they are called Wooden-leg goats.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
