Our Kiko
Goats
When we bought our ranch on
the Northern California coast in 2007, the
pastures had been overgrown with blackberry,
coyote brush and
other invasive species. We decided to try goats to
clear the land to make it more productive for cattle
and sheep. We reviewed the various goat breeds and
settled on the Kiko, a meat breed originating in New
Zealand. We chose this breed because of its reputed
low maintenance: easy keepers, few birthing or hoof
p
roblems,
good mothering instincts, parasite resistant and a
meaty carcass at the end of the day. We started out
with with bloodlines going back to the original
imports from New Zealand through Goats Unlimited
stock. Through the years, we have incorporated
some outcrosses into our pedigrees, including a
few 100% New Zealand bloodlines. Predator control is
an essential part of managing small ruminants and we
use Anatolian
Shepherds to keep our herd safe, whom we also
show. And although we did get cows, we never did
get those sheep!
