Barcott Farms

Barcott Farms fainting (myotonic) goats in Napavine, WA, Lewis County near Olympia. Coleman Barcott has been breeding fainting (myotonic) goats for several years and follows standards set by regional livestock associations, including routine annual health testing for common genetic disorders. The herd lives on open pasture, where gentle handling and early socialization help the animals adapt to family farm life.

On the historic property just outside of town, each goat is part of a rotational grazing system that promotes soil health and plant diversity. Each kid receives individualized attention during weaning and follows a structured mineral supplementation protocol to support healthy growth. The farm maintains detailed breeding records to preserve the fainting trait while prioritizing overall animal well-being in every single generation. Barcott Farms also provides informal farm visits for local youth groups and shares practical tips on sustainable husbandry.
