We are Drew, Amy, Grace and Paxton DeRiemacker, owners of Fieldcrest Farms. Since 2000, we have been raising myotonic goats. Our farm is located between Springfield and Pleasant Plains, Illinois. We are proud members of the Myotonic Goat Registry and since 2013, have been exhibiting our myotonics in MGR sanctioned shows across the Midwest. Our farm is also home to AMHA/AMHR registered miniature horses, an assortment of laying hens, 3 livestock guardian dogs, barn cats and our grant zebra, Zeke.
We are also the owner/operator of a full service dog boarding and day care facility and also help Amy's family on their sesquicentennial farm. I am also a Soil Conservation Technician with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. We attend Loami Christian Church.
We have placed a lot of effort into our herd, breeding, and management programs. Our goal is to produce myotonic goats that conform to the breed description, possess correct conformation, and add quality to anyone's herd. As a management tool, in 2013 we began testing our herd for Johnes, CAE, and CL, and have received negative results on an annual basis. For the health and longevity of the myotonic breed, our herd, and yours we will continue to test yearly and learn all we can about the diseases we are testing for.
We hope that if you are looking to add new bloodlines to your herd, are just getting started in myotonics, are looking for show stock or meat production goats, you will consider us!
