Kikos
Meat | Superior Maternal Instincts | Rapid Growth | Parasite Resistance | Solid Hoofs
Kikos seem to be the goat that fits our current environment. With the need to be more efficient with feed, to be less labor intensive and because of their inherent strengths, less in need of drugs and medical support.
Our herd has three prominent Bucks that we are very proud of:
LPR Chewbacca
If you’re going to start out your herd with one buck, I don’t think you can do better than LPR Chewbacca. Chewbacca started us out with Size, Style and Color. Chewey initially was a herdsire for Lookout Point Ranch (lookoutpointranch.com) and I think they described him best:
“Back by Popular demand: our BIG Kiko Genetics. If you’re looking to increase the frame size and growth rate of your herd, Chewbacca is the right buck for the job. He is out ow W195, full sister to our 300+ pound herd sires Spock and Leonard,. As a yearling, Chewie was already taller than all of our older bucks. He has excellent scrotal size and makes large weight gains even under heavy worm burdens. He has Spock’s outstanding feet and strong pasterns.

LPR Gunther
With Gunther our goal was to reach way back and get some old 100% NZ genetics. His daddy via AI, is Bullet of Q farms. Bullet is full brother to Lady Blackbird of Goat Hill Kikos and is aTasman Zorro andTerminator XX grandson.
In addition to outstanding bloodlines, Bullet was also a black and Gunther seems to also throw color.We purchased Gunther not only because of his outstanding bloodlines but also because we felt that he has superb confirmation which will enhance all of his progeny.

MRG High Regard
High Regard is 100% NZ and our goal was to bring some outstanding East Coast Bloodlines to the WestCoast. We went to what we felt is one of the premier Kiko Breeders, M.R.Goats and brought High Regard back from West Virginia.
The breeder, Mike Remick, I believe describes HighRegard best:
“MRG High Regard was tested as a kid through the 2018 WV Test, he excelled and had an excellent performance over-all with balance across the traits at the high end of the test. High Regard has bone and substance. He has straight feet and clean 1 x 1 teats.
He is sired by the well-tested SKY Kiss My Spot. Known for high ADG progeny, Kiss my Spot is a Loverboy son and out of the legendary doe Tasman Temptress. His dam is one of the favorites at M.R. Goats, MRG Georgia Peach. She is sired by the Terminator XX son, GFI HEMI. Tested through his progeny and noted for high worm resistance bucks, HEMI was a typical Terminator XXson. MRG Georgia Peach's dam is GFI Georgia who is a KEEPER daughter. MRG GeorgiaPeach is a full sister to the impressive buck MRG GT.
