2025 KIDDING SEASON IS IN FULL SWING
Reach out to be added to the reservation list for 2025 kids!
LCLL Ridgeline (buckling)
(LPR Northwind X LCLL Lemon Chiffon) DOB: 1/5/2025, Rank/Rear: 1/1 to a FF
Ridgeline sure does look like his daddy, which isn't a bad goal to shoot for. Being a single buckling to this first-time mom, I can predict that this guy is going to have impressive gains, a solid frame and will mature to be an impressive boy. Northwind only three kids on the ground at the moment, through no fault of his own, but I'm pleased so far. Ridgeline will be available for sale as a wether or commercial herd sire.
LCLL Rhombus, LCLL Eventide & LCLL Vega (bucklings)
(FPR Hawthorn's Saffron or ZVA Brass Tacks X HTFL Dawn) DOB: 1/5/25, Rank/Rear: 3/3 to a 3F
Typically, you use your best buck to improve on a doe's shortcomings. In this case though, Dawn will be the one making improvements no matter who she's bred to. This doe has size, bulk, length, maintains condition while feeding top gaining kids, has impeccable udder and teat structure, rock solid feet, and an easy-going temperament. This remarkable girl will improve on ANY buck she's paired with, which has already been proven thrice. It was my intention to repeat last year's breeding because the resulting doeling was stellar. However, it turns out Brass Tacks is a VERY motivated breeder and jumped out of his pen, traveled 1/2 mile down off the hill, and jumped into the pen with Saffron and his girls. These kids will have to be DNA'd, but will be eligible for registration with NKR as Purebred either way. Dawn's 2022 doeling (Red Alder) will be proving herself this year, giving Lampa Creek Kikos 3 generations of this maternal line!
LCLL Fireweed (buckling), LCLL Black Huckleberry (doeling) & LCLL Shore Pine (buckling)
(FPR Hawthorn's Saffron X LCLL Red Alder) DOB: 1/2/25, Rank/Rear: 3/3 to a FF
As a first time momma, Alder outdid herself with these healthy triplets. These kids make 4 generations on the maternal side, with their great-granddam developing deep roots in the foundation of my purebred kiko herd. Alder is following suit in this outstanding maternal line, as will her offspring. I have to remind myself that it's important to maintain genetic diversity in the herd, and that's why all 3 of these kids will be offered for sale at weaning. They will be able to be registered w/NKR as Purebred.
LCLL Buster Brown 1147 (buckling)
(FPR Hawthorn's Saffron X MEWF Moxi) DOB: 1/2/2025, Rank/Rear: 1/1
Moxi is my only breeding aged non-kiko doe, and you'd better bet she keeps right up with my highest standards and expectations! Moxi has produced 10 jaw dropping kids in just 4 breedings, that's right, triplets every time... until now LOL. I'm not sure what happened this go around, but as a singlet, you can bet Buster will be a HUGE weanling and likely my top gaining kid of the season. Moxi has been bred to a different buck every breeding, but her kids are consistently some of my best gainers and mature to be big, meaty goats with all the same traits you'd expect from a kiko. This guy is not eligible for registration but will make nice commercial herd sire with kiko vigor, Boer bulk and a splash of color to boot! Buster will be available for sale as a potential herd sire or wether.
LCLL Turn The Page 1118 (doeling), LCLL Midnight Kiss 1116 (doeling) & LCLL Confetti 1144 (buckling)
(FPR Hawthorn's Saffron X LPR Nautica) DOB: 1/1/2025, Rank/Rear: 3/3 to a FF
I know I say this a lot, but Nautica has been a favorite around the ranch, and now that she's shown me what she can produce, she's even more valuable. Nautica is from Lookout Point Ranch and was born and raised with virtually no human intervention. These three kids are so full of vigor and spunk, they're like little piranhas. Poor mom struggles to rest with 3 kids climbing and jumping on her at just a few hours old. These New Years Day kids are sure going to be fun as they grow and mature. Eligible for registration w/NKR as Purebred.
LCLL Fievel & LCLL Bernard (bucklings)
(LPR Northwind X HTFL Miss Bianca) DOB: 1/1/2025, Rank/Rear: 2/2 to a FF
These twin bucklings have been highly anticipated, being the first LPR Northwind kids to hit the ground! Northwind is an impressive young buck who had a staggering yearling weight of 187 lbs. Beautiful Bianca is my smallest doe at 110 lbs, but don't let that deter you. This little girl has had a FAMACHA score of 1 since the day she arrived, is healthy as a horse, has hooves that hold up to our soggy coastal weather like no other, and has the most endearing personality. These bucklings will be no-nonsense, hassle-free, hearty kiko kids and will be available for sale as wethers.
LCLL Countdown To Midnight (buckling) & LCLL Champagne And Cheer (doeling)
(FPR Hawthorn's Saffron OR ZVA Brass Tacks X DDF Starstruck) DOB: 12/31/2024, Rank/Rear: 3/2 to a FF
First time mom Starla kicked off the season, and on New Years Eve no less! She was carrying triplets but sadly, the first buckling was DOA. The brown 7 lb. buckling and his 6.6 lb sister are doing great! If size is what you're after, that's just the start of what Starla has to offer. As a first freshener, these kids were one of my most anticipated of the season. Starla's yearling weight was 24 lbs heavier than the next biggest doeling in her kidding group, which is no surprise because her dam consistently produced the #1 gaining kids for her breeder for 9 solid years. Starla is not an anomaly; it's in her genes! Her kids will be outstanding despite the fact that I don't know who their sire is. Originally, she was to be bred to Saffron, but Brass was as, if not more appealing to her so I guess I'll have to wait on DNA tests to know for sure. These kids will be eligible for registration w/NKR as Purebred.
FPR Hawthorn's Saffron X LPR Nirvana
If this isn't a match made in heaven, I don't know what is! Nirvana is my dream goat who will be proving herself in January as a first freshener. Saffron is the perfect suiter for her, with his great track record producing fast growing and adaptable kids. Nirvana has some good statistics to back her up too, so this looks to be a no-lose love connection. These kids will be eligible for Purebred registration with NKR and should arrive just after the first of the year.
ZVA Brass Tacks X LPR Gracie
Gracie is no spring chicken. She's been around the block a time or two and knows how to raise some outstanding kids! With her large stature (180 lbs) and Brass Tacks' balanced muscle mass, this is one exciting breeding. These kids will be big, bulky and vigorous with solid feet, productive udders and top parasite resistance. They will also have productive longevity, as demonstrated by their surprisingly youthful 8 year old dam. I'll be keeping a close eye on any bucklings out of this pairing as potential herd sires. Eligible for registration as PB w/NKR.
DDF Smoking Gun X LPR Novel
These are going to be BIG kids! They'll have all the other wonderful qualities of the kiko as well, but most notably, they'll be BIG. Novel is a burly girl who had an amazing ADG to weaning age, but more noteworthy was her 148 lb. 14 month weight with no supplementation! Likewise, Smoking Gun has been growing in leaps and bounds, at well above the average rate (1/2 pound gain per day) since arriving here as a weanling. These kids will be eligible for registration as Purebred w/NKR and bucklings (wethered) will make amazing pack goat prospects.
FPR Hawthorn's Saffron X LPR Kalypso
Saffron and Kalypso complement each other beautifully! With Saffron's heartiness and adaptability, and Kalypso's stout frame and productive longevity, this is a win-win pairing. These kids will have great temperaments and will be eligible for registration as Purebred w/NKR.
FPR Hawthorn's Saffron X HTFL Firefly
If this isn't a match made in heaven, I don't know what is!
FPR Hawthorn's Saffron X LPR Horizon
Horizon may not look like much, but she's one heck of a brood doe!!! Horizon knows how to grow out some outstanding kids, and outproduces herself year after year no matter who she's bred to. I have retained her daughter, granddaughter, and will be welcoming her first great grandkids this season. Any kids out of this breeding that I don't choose to retain, will make wonderful additions to any breeding program. Eligible for registration w/NKR as Purebred.
FPR Hawthorn's Saffron X FLM Lux Cherie
Color's just a bonus, but I gotta admit, I'm super excited about the potential color combinations of these coming kiddos. Lux is a beautiful doe with an air of glamour and elegance while Saffron has a rugged appeal. These Purebred kids will have the best of both parents and will be eligible fot registration w/NKR as PB.
ZVA Brass Tacks X LCLL Black Friday
This breeding will be one of the few in 2025 to produce 100% NZ kids. I've struggled to find New Zealand stock that holds up to the unique challenges our Coastal climate presents. These two have passed the test and will be pairing up for February kids. Friday sure is easy on the eyes and has held a special place in my heart from the day she was born, so you can understand how excited I am to cross her with my favorite buck. You guessed it, kids will be eligible for registration as 100% NZ w/NKR.
LPR Northwind X DDF Magically Dun
I've been waiting a long time to see what this gem will produce! Magic has checked every box on my list so far, and in just 3 short months, she'll prove to me that she's got it all, when paired off with Northwind. Both have above average growth rate, substance and frame, and have been as low maintenance as they come. I fully expect resulting kids to be worthy of representing the breed and going on to be registered as Purebred w/NKR. One doeling out of this pairing will likely be retained.
ZVA Brass Tacks X MJI F0985 (Missouri)
I took a big risk when I purchased this doe, who was already advanced in age and well above the average price-point for kikos in the PNW. That gamble paid off ten-fold in her first kidding season here on Lampa Creek. Missouri gave me two perfect specimens in 2024, a doeling and a buckling, both of whom make my heart skip a beat. The buckling, LCLL Alloy Brass, has since gone to his new home where he will sire his own kid crop in 2025. The doeling, LCLL Brass Phantom, will likely stay here for life. I contemplated breeding Missouri to a different sire this year, but at her age, I want to get the most bang for my buck (pun intended). So while she's still producing well above the standard, I'll be duplicating last year's breeding. Kids will be eligible for registration as 100% NZ with NKR, and one doeling from each kidding out of this girl will likely be retained.
ZVA Brass Tacks X LCLL Two Step Tango
Tango is a remarkable young lady; She was raised a quad, to a 12 year old mother who's last set of kids were still some of my top performing kids. Last year as a first-time momma, Tango's buckling was my 2nd best gaining kid EVER, and her doeling kept right up too. I anticipate this year's kids to do even better being sired by chunk monkey Brass Tacks. Despite being purebred, Tango is only registered as 75%, so bucklings out of this breeding will not be eligible for registration, but doelings can be registered as 88%, and their offspring will be able to be registered w/NKR as Purebred.
ZVA Brass Tacks X LPR Nepal
I don't really know what to say here. We've got two prime specimens; both possess every quality you could desire in a kiko, muscular density, resilient hoof structure, beat red FAMACHA under any conditions, and gentile, manageable temperaments. Nepal has a tendency to get overlooked, only because she's SO low maintenance and non-demanding. She's never been sick, injured, required deworming or hoof attention. She maintains her figure through drought or soggy winter. These will be her first kids, but I'm so confident in her abilities, I have absolutely no reservations about these resulting kids, who will be eligible for registration as PB w/NKR.
ZVA Brass Tacks X BWP Hinto's Cricket
As I work to increase my 100% NZ herd, I'm becoming more and more intrigued by this breeding. Cricket comes directly from one of the most respected breeders of Kiko goats, Wes Pinneo of B Bar W Kikos in Kansas. I believe Brass Tacks' springy rib and muscular density will compliment Cricket's long legs and length of loin beautifully. I'm hoping for doelings out of this breeding because I fully intend to retain one, however, a buck kid out of these two could be your future herd sire. These kids will be eligible for registration as 100% NZ w/NKR and will have some of the best genetics combined from sire and dam.
DDF Smoking Gun X LPR Kimono
DDF Smoking Gun X DDF Caramilk Mousse
If you follow my Facebook page, you know that Millie is hands-down, my best doe! Millie has a 300% kidding average, consistently raises deep chests, long and level toplines and overall, the best phenotype in my herd. Millie has produced a herd sire out of her last two kidding's, which is saying a lot considering only the very top 3 or 4 buckling's of the year get to go on to become a breeding buck. This year, Millie will be paired up with Smoking Gun, and the resulting kids may be her best yet. I will likely retain a doeling out of this breeding but expect to offer her two other kids at weaning. These kids will be eligible for registration as Purebred with both NKR and AKGA.
DDF Smoking Gun X MEWF Loretta Devine
Would you look at these two! Devine is a recent addition and is one of only two non-kiko goats on the farm. Devine is 75% Boer and 25% Toggenburg, a cross that has proven to be hearty and well-rounded. I'm hoping these offspring will have Smoke's outstanding rate of gain and parasite resistance, with some added bulk from the Boer and milk production of the Togg. Doelings from this pairing will be eligible for registration with NKR as 50% and will be prime candidates for NKR's Breed-Up Program. Bucklings may make nice commercial herd sires with some spotted genetics behind them.
