Kiko Goats

While we have an ongoing goal of regenerative grazing, we found that the sheep do not like many of the pasture's "weedy" plants. Picky girls! With the goal of not spraying, Travis has had to diversify. He studied and researched for over a year before deciding on the type of goats he wanted to invest in. With an ongoing disdain for my dairy goats, he began to look into the meat goats as a diversified pasture maintenance crew. He finally found goats that fit his criteria from Pat & Donna Martens and Bill Francis in Oklahoma. These mix New Zealand Kikos, Pureblood/Fullblood Kikos, and some Savannah/Kiko crosses. These girls are entirely pasture-based. They are rotationally grazed with our ewe flock, have free choice minerals and a water wagon that moves with them every day. These goats are CAE/CL free.   
Kiko Buck 
We purchased this 100 % NZ commercial buck from Bill Francis. Travis chose to go with a commercial buck since he was unsure what direction he wanted to go. This little buck is by an embryo transfer buck that Bill was very excited about. When picking him, we were pleased with his growth, depth of body, and muscling compared to the other bucklings in the group. Travis named him "Okie from Okmulgee."

This is Okie, September 2023. He's skinny and rough looking from being on the fence line with my dairy girls during breeding season.
