Brightman Farm Goats live in a Beautiful Pasture Setting on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We developed our pasture without chemicals in 2014 specifically for our goats, about 2 years before their arrival, using a 7 forage plant mix created specifically for goats in our climate region containing orchard grass, tall fescue (endophyte free), chicory, alfalfa, white yarrow, bird's foot trefoil and red clover! As a result, our goats are happy, fast growing and doing very well!
We are working on the development of 2 breeds: Kiko and Myotonic. We began with high quality, performance tested Kiko bucks: an NKR Registered 100% New Zealand Kiko and an NKR Registered Purebred Kiko and some goats are crossbred with MGR Registered Myotonic goats. Our NKR Registered Purebred Kiko Herdsire 'Geronimo' (photo included) was in the top 10 of the 2015 Western Maryland Meat Goat Performance Test, which measures parasite resistance and growth rate. The crossbred or purebred goats can be sold as commercial breeding stock or as pets. Our crossbred wethers (neutered males) of both breeds are beautiful, hardy and entertaining as pets and companions for humans or other animals. Our crossbred bucks and does are excellent breeding stock for the meat goat industry, as they are hardy and high quality meat breeds. We have a young herd of MGR ('Myotonic Goat Registry') Purebred Myotonic "Fainting Goats" which we will use to produce kids to be sold as pets or possibly as breeding stock for the meat goat industry.
