THE KIKO BREED

The Kiko breed of goats is an import from New Zealand. The Kiko development as a breed began in 1978 with a specific purpose in mind. At this time 20 does were selected from New Zealand-wide feral herds numbering over 1,000. Selection was based on high live weight, freedom from constitution faults such as misshapen feet and jaws, apparent milk production potential as indicated by udder size, and a block body shape indicating superior fleshing. The New Zealand goat producers wanted a goat with superior qualities for commercial meat production. They were developed by crisscrossing various dairy goats with wild feral goats that had been abandoned by early settlers of New Zealand. Through successive generations of a strict culling program, selecting under the guidelines of overall thriftiness, mothering ability, multiple births, weight gain and parasite resistance, a small heard of goats emerged that consistently yielded superior growth and performance characteristics. Its New Zealand developers introduced the Kiko as a new goat breed in Brazilia, Brazil at the 4th International Congress on Goats in 1987. The Kiko breed was introduced into the United States in the early 1990’s.

Located In The Wilds of Southeastern Oklahoma, Pittsburg County, Jack Fork Mountains, The Jack Fork Valley Ranch is dedicated to the breeding and further development of "The Perfect Goat", the Kiko. We specialize in the 100 % New Zealand Fullblood Kiko but also breed American Premier Purebred Kiko and percentage Kikos as well. With a rigorous culling process

and the best genetics available, we hope to accomplish our mission!!

Southwest Ceasar served as our #1 heardsire and is an own son of the original Goatex Goliath of New Zealand. Ceasar is a large and rangy buck, a very aggressive breeder and even tempered. He throws excellent kids and is about 50/50 on bucklings and doelings on the ground. He is a very easy keeper, little to no hoof problems and very seldom needs worming. His only problem is he has just worked himself out of a job. This is an excellent buck. We at Jack Fork Valley Ranch want to wish Bill and Cherie the best of luck with Ceasar's outstanding genetics. If you need breeding stock from his background contact them at above information.

We have 14 100% New Zealand does that were exposed to Ceasar before he made the trip to Ravenden Ridge Ranch. These does will kid in mid to late March 2008, some kids will be offered for sale. Contact us if interested.
