Goat Branch Farm

Goat Branch Farm, fainting (Myotonic) goats, Woodstock, MD, serves Carroll County near Baltimore. Donald Weston III has over ten years of experience raising fainting (Myotonic) goats and is a member of the National Fainting Goat Association, with routine health screenings for CAE, CL and Johne’s disease. His goats graze on mixed pasture and have daily handling to support early socialization and a calm temperament.

The farm follows a small-scale homestead model where each kid is bottle-fed along with group weaning to foster herd bonds. Weston draws on family farm traditions to maintain simple housing with fresh browse and sturdy shelters for changing weather. Neighbors often note the herd’s friendly curiosity and consistent health.

Breeding selections prioritize structural soundness and longevity to support healthy herds beyond the show ring. Does are retained for consistent milk production and kids mature with exposure to goats of various ages for balanced development.
