Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

What kind of environment do Kiko goats need?

Kikos are built for the outdoors. 🌿 They do best on open pasture or rough terrain, with basic shelter to protect them from extreme weather. They adapt well to different climates and don’t need high-maintenance housing — just clean water, quality forage, and regular mineral supplementation.

Can Kiko goats be used for more than just meat?

Absolutely. While Kikos are prized for meat production, many farms also keep them for brush clearing, breeding programs, or even as companions or livestock guardians. Their intelligence, independence, and low-maintenance nature make them versatile farm animals beyond just their value on the scale.

Are Kiko goats good for beginners or small farms?

Yes!😀 Kikos are an excellent choice for new goat owners or small-scale farms. 👩‍🌾 They require less input than many other breeds thanks to their natural resistance to disease and ability to thrive on forage. Their calm temperament also makes them easier to handle compared to more high-strung breeds.

What makes New Zealand Kiko goats different from other goat breeds?

Kiko goats were developed in New Zealand to be tough, fast-growing, and low-maintenance. 🐐 Unlike some other breeds that require more care, Kikos thrive in pasture-based systems, resist parasites better, and are known for their excellent mothering skills. They're perfect for breeders who want hardy animals with strong survival instincts and high meat yields.

How big do Kiko goats get, and what’s their growth rate?

Kiko bucks (males) typically reach 200–300 lbs, while does (females) average 100–150 lbs. One of the main reasons they’re popular is their rapid growth rate, especially on pasture. Kids grow quickly and wean strong, making them ideal for meat production or herd improvement.
