THAT'S A WRAP UNTIL APRIL KIDDING

Tally For 1st Season: 20 bucklings, 11 doelings

Reach out to be added to the reservation list for 2025 kids!

LCLL Tonka Joe (buckling) 

(ZVA Brass Tacks X LPR Gracie) DOB: 1/23/25, Rank/Rear: 1/1 to an 8 y.o. 

Gracie is no spring chicken. She's been around the block a time or two and knows how to raise some outstanding kids! Gracie has always had twins and triplets, but focused all her energy on this single buckling this year. With her large stature (180 lbs) and Brass Tacks' balanced muscle mass, Tonka Joe will be big, bulky and vigorous with solid feet and top parasite resistance. He will also pass on productive longevity, as demonstrated by their surprisingly youthful 8 year old dam. Tonka Joe has been reserved by a family who instantly fell in love with his silly personality.  

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 turn heads. His dam, Chiffon, is from my best maternal line and has the nicest udder attachment I've ever laid eyes on. She's proving to follow in her mom's footsteps in every way. Northwind only has three kids on the ground at the moment, through no fault of his own, but I'm more than impressed by the bone and frame he's throwing so far.  Ridgeline will be available for sale as an NKR registered herd sire.  This is a very nice young buck folks! 

LCLL Eventide, LCLL Rhombus & 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. Dawn's 2022 doeling (Red Alder) has proven herself this year, giving Lampa Creek Kikos 3 generations of this maternal line! Rhombus and Eventide are currently reserved and Vega is available for sale as a wether. 

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 single, 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 is reserved and will go to his 4-H home after weaning. 

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 spotted 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. Champagne currently has a staggering ADG of 0.63 lbs per day and will be available for sale with NKR registration. Countdown has already gone to his 4-H home. 

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 one short month, 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 offspring were still some of my top performing kids. Last year as a first-time momma, Tango's buckling was my 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. doelings, however, can be registered as 88%, and then 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

 Kimono is as SOLID as a brick house, with a perfect topline and flawless udder structure. She's short and squat, so it seemed a natural choice to match her up with then tall and leggy Smoking Gun. Smokey has maintained and astonishing ADG from birth to maturity and I expect these kids to be a perfect balance between sire and dam. I have high expectations of these kids, who will be eligible for registration w/NKR as Purebred.  

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.
