 Our goats spend their days
freely foraging on our 400 acre ranch, then all trot home at the end
of the day to tell us about their day and ask for snacks.

Salmon Creek Ranch Kikos:
All our goats are 100%
purebred AKGA* registered Kikos. Kikos are a meat goat from New Zealand
("Kiko"
means "meat" in Maori.), which descend from
goats first brought
to the islands by Captain Cook. They are known to be particularly
hardy,
self-sufficient, parasite
resistant, have fewer hoof problems and possess superb mothering
skills. Such an
independent animal was a perfect fit for our operation. As the health
and well-being of our animals is a top priority, we keep our herd
closed to outside animals and it is CL
& CAE
tested clear. We protect
our goats from the many land and airborne predators in our
area by a combination of Anatolian Shepherds (an ancient livestock
guardian breed
from Turkey) and electric fences.

We
occasionally have AKGA registered*
or
commercial grade Kikos for sale. See our Goats for Sale page for
details.
