Herdsires
Herdsires on our ranch must be able to thrive with minimal inputs, live in a small herd of males, yet be intrepid enough to forage the far reaches of their containment area. Their hooves receive a biannual check and adjustment, but no more, so they need to be low care. Bucks must be non-aggressive with their head and horns towards us, or they will not reproduce here. The handling of the goats is run primarily by women on our ranch and a leg injury prevents speed and agility for one of us. Kiko bucks can approach 250-lbs and more at mature weight, so along with scrotal size, clean teats, ease of gain, desirable body structure, excellent hooves, and parasite resistance, temperament is another primary factor for buck selection on our ranch.
