The Kiko goat is a hardy and adaptable breed originally developed in New Zealand during the 1980s. The name “Kiko” comes from the Māori word for “meat,” reflecting the breed’s primary purpose. Here’s an overview of the Kiko goat:Origins • The Kiko goat was developed by crossing feral goats with dairy breeds such as Saanen, Nubian, and Toggenburg. • Its development was aimed at creating a low-maintenance, fast-growing, and robust meat goat that could thrive in tough environmental conditions.Chara

We added a Kiko goat herd to the farm. This is going to be a huge adventure. We picked up a herd of Kiko goats, 7 nannies and 1 big buck. When we got them back to our farm we worked them, dewormed, trimmed hooves and gave them a copper bolus. We show how to work goats before you turn them loose on your farm.
