Goats for Sale
Kidding season for 2010 was an uneventful one. We bred our does later in the fall and managed to avoid the early spring cold snaps. A total of 36 kids were born to 18 does between March 5 and April 8. The does and offspring are now out on pasture in our rotational grazing system, where the youngsters are learning about electric netting and hot wires.
Our New Zealand and purebred does were bred to JFK Uncle Jesse, our 100% NZ buck. This is his fourth kid crop. Our percentage and commercial does were bred to our new junior herdsire Boss Hogg, from Smoke Ridge in Montana. He is a Savannah-Spanish cross.
We conduct on-farm performance testing of our kid crop. Only kids with above average daily gains (0.3 lbs/day for doelings and 0.4 lbs/day for bucklings) and structural soundness that were raised by an attentive mother will be sold for breeding stock. All others will be sold for slaughter.
We are hoping that the Savannah genetics in this year's kid crop will give us stockier kids while preserving the Kiko hardiness.
Currently, we are sold out of 2010 doe kids and mature does. There are a few 2010 buck kids still available. See photos below of the bucklings for sale. Visit our "Meet Our Herd" page for more information on sires. Please contact us with any questions.

We are accepting $50 deposits to hold 2010/2011 kids. Please contact us if you are interested in our 2010/2011 kid crop.
