PRESENT & PAST HERDSIRES

See Pricing FAQ for an explantion of our in-herd EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values) computed by Sheep Genetics Australia and other animal statistics.

Due to variations in weather and pasture conditions from year to year, weight comparisons are only valid between animals born in the same year, with the same birth-rear status. EBVs are the best way to compare.

Our herdsires are ranged on native pasture year round with no foot trimming, supplemental feeding, vaccines or worming.

To our knowledge, there were no polled animals in the original Kiko import to the USA, even though a special polled line had been developed as part of the original Kiko project. We obtained some of those old genetics by way of embryos made from long-frozen semen kept in NZ. We tested these genetics over several years and eventually produced Edge and Echo, twin brothers. Both parents are direct NZ imports. Polledness is a dominant trait...the only way to get polled animals is to start with one. Polled animals throw about 50% polled kids.

Linebred Spock grandson - Future's granddam was Spock's full sister. His mother was coming on 10 years old when Future was born, and she raised him and his sister with one half of an udder, after a mastititis attack. It really set Future back, especially since his dam decided she liked his sister better than him, and didn't let him nurse as much. He's bounced back well, but will likely always be a bit smaller than he would have been otherwise. We're very glad to have these genetics to put back into the herd.

We haven't seen EBVs like this since our foundation sire Spock - this all-white buck was a tank as a 6-month-old buckling, and passed it on to his first kid crop. Unfortunately two of his feet wound up slightly overgrown this spring and he had to be culled. We knew it was a risk since his mother became overgrown at 4 years of age...we rolled the dice and lost! When it comes to herdsires, we have a zero tolerance policy on excessive hoof growth. We'll have to sort through his kids to salvage the ones that didn't inherit his feet.

Back by popular demand: our BIG Kiko genetics. If you're looking to increase the frame size and growth rate of your herd, Chewbacca is the right buck for the job. He is out of W196, full sister to our 300+ pound herdsires Spock and Leonard. As a yearling, Chewie was already taller than all of our older bucks. He has excellent scrotal size and makes large weight gains even under heavy worm burdens. He has Spock's outstanding feet and strong pasterns.

Spock was the biggest goat any of us had ever seen. Our scale could not accomodate him anymore after he passed 300 pounds at three years old. Spock and his twin brother Leonard were so tall they could be ridden like ponies - something they seemed to enjoy. We'll probably never have bucks this big again, because we stopped worming our production herd in 2007, and the life here is just too hard for optimal growth of young animals. Spock had perfect feet and strong, upright pasterns.

Bucky is the reason we have so many unregistered does in our breeding herd. He was the first buck we purchased from Dr. An Peischel, and at the time, we did not see the value in registration. We bought him and our first 10 does without papers, and so all our early kids - the foundation of our future herd - were unregisterable.
