Looking for info on Kinder Goats

[fjorddreamer]

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum, although I'm an active participant of the Backyard Chicken forum.

I'm looking for information about Kinder goats.....from people who have them. I've read about them, of course, but would love to see pictures and opinions from people who actually own them.

I'm from Canada and am not having any luck finding any Kinders. We are really interested in possibly starting our own herd, but can't find any available.

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a pair of kinder does - a first generation and a third generation. Love them both!

Thanks for your response. Do you have any pictures!! I'd love to see what they look like. I haven't had any luck finding a place to buy any. I'm sure there must be at least a few in Canada!!

I got my girls from this lady here in Texas - my girls are on her webpage under Kinder goats. Won't help you much in Canada, but she has some great links to other breeders and info on the goats. My babies are Blacker and CZ under the Kinder page ...

I went to the Puyallup Fair (Western Washington) yesterday in hopes of seeing some. NONE - I was told they are still too rair.

I did see one Mini Nubian that was just precious and I must say I preferred the look slightly over the Kinder. The ear's were more nubian looking ears, where the kinders I've seen stick out a little like airplane ears.

I was told by a kinder breeder that the kinder milk is creamier and sweeter than the mini nubians.

I absolutely love my Kinders - CZ has much bigger teats and is so easy to milk. Blacker is also quite easy to milk. I have not tasted other goats milk - but my family and I love the kinder milk and its is quite sweet and creamy. We moved directly from store cow milk to kinder milk with no complaints.

Like I said before, you can look at the link I provided and see my girls and I think Blacker's twins from this summer are also on there. I have had so much fun with the girls and they are very sweet. I think they weigh in around 80 lbs or so, Blacker is smaller than CZ. They are producing for us about 6 to 8 lbs per doe each day; it works out great for my family of 6 but there is not usually much extra so I haven't tried to do cheese or soap yet. Any extra goes to our chickens and dogs!

I love my Kinders and love my does ears, when they run, they look like they have pigtails.

They are also the first goats I've ever had and they are friendly. Even the buck is wonderful!!
