I reserved these doelings a year ago. I reserved four but a buck heavy year for the supplier meant I only got two. He was reducing his herd a bit so her agreed to sell me one of his older does. Her Dam and Sire have wonderful records for weight gain on their kids and she herself has weaned two kids at over 80% of her body weight. I paid too much for her but I just HAD to have her. :weee

They came out of a forage only program. The older doe is a 75% registered kiko named Sunshine. The little ones are kiko/savanna and are just beautiful! :love

Sunshine is covered in little brown freckles on her white body. Even her udder is freckled!

This one has no name yet. She has wattles and the cutest little brown spots on her face!

The last one is white with a silvery sheen. She is stunning! Her dam has some wonderful kidding records! 11 kids and an average ADG of .42 on a forage only program. I am thinking of naming her Mercury.

Thank you. I am already just loving these girls. Sunshine's Sire was a solid black kiko buck and her kids have all been dark and colorful. Can't wait to see what I get!

Personally I would name the "no name kid" Jigsaw! because it looks like she has a puzzle piece on her left side.

Beautiful! I don't have any kiko's but I do have savanna's and I love them. They are hands down the easiest goats I have and never have problems with hooves or worms like the Boers.
