Brightman Farm Goats

Brightman Farm Goats, fainting (myotonic) goats, Princess Anne, MD, serves Somerset County and the Eastern Shore near Salisbury. Robert Brightman has been raising fainting goats for several years, adhering to breed standards and coordinating routine health testing, including regular fecal analyses and hoof trimming.

The herd is registered with recognized goat associations, and each animal receives seasonal veterinary checkups, Coggins-equivalent screenings, and individualized health records. Kids are reared in a mixed-age group with daily handling and structured grazing rotations, which fosters a calm temperament and basic handling skills. Each doe and buck kid departs with a detailed care sheet, current vaccinations, and guidance on optimal feeding and pasture management.

The farm’s rotating paddocks and natural hoof care routines reflect a commitment to sustainable, low-impact management tailored to fainting goats. As a family-run operation on sprawling pastureland, the farm emphasizes gentle handling, transparent communication about each goat’s lineage, and ongoing support for new keepers.
