We believe
registered purebred and percentage Kiko does, on the whole, are
genetically superior to that of any other meat goat breeding stock.
For this reason, pedigreed Kikos are a major focus of what we do at
TCF.
That said, there
are always exceptional does from other breeds. When we find
them, we enter them into our registered cross breeding program to
take advantage of hybrid-vigor or "the best of both worlds".
Advantages of
Does from Kiko sired genetics:
-
Extremely high
parasite resistance, reduced de-worming.
-
Slow hoof growth,
rarely requires management.
-
Ability to
sustain itself and offspring on browse with little to no feed
supplementation.
-
Females capable
of birthing and caring for newborns without assistance and with no
regard to weather conditions.
-
High twinning
rates and excellent milk production.
-
Highly fertile
females that breed back quickly.
TCF has doe herds
with breeding programs in place for the following:
-
Purebred Kiko
Does & Bucks
-
50%, 75%, and
7/8ths Kiko Does
-
50/50 Genemaster
Does & Bucks
