One of the biggest hot button topics in dairy goat land especially on social media the past few weeks after convention has been congenital myotonia or CM.  CM is the gene that can effect a nigerian dwarf by making them show signs of stiff legged or even fainting when spooked.  Don't be spooked by this gene though, be educated in this week's episode of Ringside featuring Stephanie Trout of Three Hearts Farm and Starbound Nigerian Dwarfs!
