Bermes Goats

Bermes Goats, a fainting (myotonic) goat operation in Shepherd, MT, is based in Yellowstone County near Billings. The farm follows standard health testing protocols common among fainting goat breeders, including regular parasite control, routine dental checks, body condition scoring, and hoof care.

Animals live on open pasture with sturdy woven wire fencing that promotes stress-free grazing cycles. Shelters are equipped with straw bedding and cleaned daily to maintain a dry environment. Seasonal breeding aligns with forage availability to ensure does receive adequate nutrition during lactation. Kids are introduced to supplemental grain blends formulated for fainting goats to support healthy growth through their first months.

Charly Bermes developed the herd around sound conformation and temperaments suited to small-scale homesteads. Whether kept for milk, meat, or affectionate companionship, these goats exhibit hearty adaptability and a gentle startle response that can be a learning opportunity for all ages.
