BHT Ranch

BHT Ranch is a fainting (myotonic) goat breeder in Stockport, IA, in Van Buren County near Davenport. Owned by Bryan Hoag, the farm follows recommended health-testing guidelines, maintains detailed records, and observes breed association standards. Their goats graze freely on mixed pasture with access to open barns, and daily interaction helps foster calm temperaments and robust social skills.

As a family-run operation, they emphasize gentle handling, transparent communication, and respectful herd management. Buyers often note the hardiness and friendliness of young goats, well suited to varied small farm setups. Nutritional management includes rotational grazing, targeted mineral supplementation, and seasonal forage planning to support steady growth. Kids depart after initial vaccinations and come with care guides and personalized recommendations for their new homesteads. Each goat is introduced to seasonal pasture rotations and enrichment activities from birth to encourage adaptability and confidence.
