I would like to introduce our ranch and our goat production record that we had for 2025 which are sold out in hopes that you will promote this information to a 4-H club, FFA Chapter, goat rancher, etc., and that we are now taking reservations for our 2026 production. We welcome a visitation to western foothills of Chino Valley to see our Kiko goats.
Our Kiko goats are purebred and 100% New Zealand Kiko goats are can be registered with the American Kiko Goat Association as come from registered Moms and a registered Dad. Attached are pictures of the certificates of one of the mother does and the buck that is our breeder showing their ancestral line. We are attaching a picture of one of the mothers that shows her udder as high milk production that supported her triplets born in 2025 and has milk that has sweet cream and with a high fat content naturally homogenized easier to digest than sheep or cows milk.
There are many advantages of Kiko goats and would like to see them shown in an arena to see how they stand up to other breeds of goats. The American Kiko Goat Association defines the Kiko goat as, “The Kiko meat goat is a hearty and fast growing goat with good body condition, is structurally sound goat and is capable of producing twin kids suitable for slaughter or replacement stock…where there is common set of characteristics the Kiko goat should maintain. These characteristics include: fast rate of gain, heartiness, low maintenance, and productive breeding stock (both does and bucks).”
I would like to list the advantages of Kiko goats and how our kids fared the breeding season of 2025 where we had 11 kids from 4 doe mothers;
1. FAST RATE OF GAIN AND BODY CONFORMATION: While there isn’t a standard body confirmation, high performing Kikos should have correct, functional body structure, along with a thick, muscled body and high feed efficiency on a low input system. [It is shown in the pictures attached of the correct, functional body structure]. Kiko goats should have a high weaning weight as compared to other goats their age and management style. A high 90 day weight of goat bucks is considered to be 50 pounds or more where some breeders (like Kiko breeders) aim for higher weights of 60 pounds or more at 90 days. [of our 5 bucks born in 2025 only 2 were in the 50 pound range where the smallest was 54.8 and the next was 59.7 and the other 3 were 66.4, 67.8, and 78 pounds at 90 days making all five in the high 90-weight category and some exceptional 90-day weight category]. A high 90-day weight for doelings according to the Penn State Extension is from 35 to 50 pounds or more. [All of our doelings were over 50 pounds at 90 days in 2025]. Research has demonstrated that Kiko kids at weaning compared to Boer kids are 10 lbs. or heavier on the average. For fast weight of gain, the Average Daily Weight Gain (ADWG) in healthy, well-fed goats is between .25 and .3 pounds per day gain. [Our goat kids born in 2025 definitely demonstrated that from birth weight to 90-day or weaning weight ranged from a low of .49 lbs/day to a high of .74 lbs/day where the 3 doelings which were all from a set of triplets that we are offering had .52, .53, and .53 ADWG].
2. PRODUCTIVE BREEDING STOCK AND MATERNAL TRAITS: Kiko does and bucks as breeding stock are known for their productivity. Does often produce twins regularly, produce sufficient milk for nursing, possess good kidding and mothering abilities, and fast body conditioning recover after weaning. Kiko does are known for their strong mothering instincts and ability to raise multiple kids without significant human intervention; they typically have good udder conformation and milk production to support their offspring; and their maternal abilities contribute to higher kid survival rates and overall productivity [of our 4 breeding does, we had 3 sets of triplets and a set of twins which gave birth naturally without our help and 100% survival rate and you can see from the mother of one of the doelings offered of the size of her udder raising 2 large bucklings and the large doeling who has sweet cream milk with high fat content naturally homogenized and easier to digest than cows or sheep milk].
3. HEARTINESS, ADAPTABILITY, AND PARASITE RESISTANCE: Kiko goats are known for their hardiness and parasite resistance adapting to various climates, including both cold and humid environments. Kiko goats can thrive in a range of conditions, including challenging terrains and climates. Their ability to withstand harsh conditions contributes to their overall resilience and lower maintenance requirements. Cashmere production is a common trait in goats. Many goats, including Kiko goats, particularly those bred for colder climates grow a soft, fluffy undercoat called cashmere. They typically will birth and care for their kids with minimal assistance. The breed tends to require minimal veterinary care and have few foot or hoof issues. Research has shown Kiko does to have lower parasite load after kidding over Boer goats. [We have not had any parasite issues with our goats nor need for veterinary care, do well even in cold winters growing wool cashmere that helps in cold climate where our breeding goats came from in eastern Arizona which can get to single digit temperatures and hot summers shedding their cashmere coats, and see picture of our Buck on the rocky terrain in his pen].
4. GROWTH WEIGHT AND MEAT PRODUCTION: Kiko kids exhibit rapid growth rates, reaching market weight relatively quickly. Kiko goats also produce high-quality meat with good carcass yields, making them desirable choice for meat production. [See our growth rates above that are in the high category].
5. CROSSBREEDING: Kiko goats are often used in crossbreeding programs to improve the hardiness, parasite resistance, and growth rates of other goat breeds. Their genetic traits can be passed on to offspring, enhancing the overall productivity and resilience of the herd. [Our goats have strong genetics in their line (see the registration certificates)].
6. LOW MAINTENANCE: Kiko goats are known for being a low maintenance breed. They require minimal inputs (adding feed such as grain), intervention for medical or kidding issues, and few parasite issues. The low maintenance trait helps extend the longevity of life for the Kiko breed over other meat goat breeds. In fact, research has shown a longer lifespan for Kiko does over Boer and Spanish does over a 5-year period, with nearly 60% of Kiko goats being retained, while the Spanish goat was 45% and Boer goat at 15%. [We feed our goats alfalfa mixed with grass hay and alfalfa/hay combination pellets (no grain), and natural weeds and bushes. Our oldest breeding doe is 8 years old and has and still is producing twins and has an excellent, large udder for milk production as well].
7. OTHER BENEFITS: Kiko goats are excellent foragers, capable of controlling brush and weeds, making them useful for land management purposes. [Our goats consider it a treat when we cut down bushes and weeds that grow prolifically in the Chino Valley area and give it to them].
