BREEDING PAIRINGS FOR THE 2025 KIDDING SEASON

DDF Smoking Gun X LPR Nexus

These kids will be Smoke's FIRST kids to hit the ground, and if that's not exciting, I don't know what is. Better yet, they will be out of first-time mom Nexus, who is the perfect match for Smoke. Being only 6 months old when he paired off with her, Smoke is just starting to show his potential. He's proven to have a growth rate (post weaning) that far exceeds the norm. With his ADG and Nexus' flesh and substance, resulting kids will be at the top of their game. I'm very excited to see what's to come from these two, due 12/29/2024. 

FPR Hawthorn's Saffron X MEWF Moxi

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 9 jaw dropping kids in just 3 breedings, that's right, triplets every time. 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.  Last year, two of her triplets were spotted even though she was bred to a solid buck. I'm always excited to see what she produces, especially for 2025, being paired up with Saffron. Doelings from this pairing will be eligible for 50% registration w/NKR, and bucklings may make nice commercial herd sires. Hoping for New Year's Day kiddos. 

FPR Hawthorn's Saffron OR ZVA Brass Tacks X HTFL Dawn

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 these genetics! 

FPR Hawthorn's Saffron OR ZVA Brass Tacks X DDF Starstruck

If size is what you're after, that's just the start of what Starla has to offer. As a first freshener, her kids will be 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 will be. 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. Due 1/4/2025, these kids will be eligible for registration w/NKR as Purebred. 

LPR Northwind X LCLL Lemon Chiffon

Northwind only got four girls for his first breeding season through no fault of his own, so I wanted to make it count. First timer Chiffon is a perfect match for him and vice versa. Chiffon is a dam raised triplet who's mom has a 300% kidding average.  She has a pleasing topline and wonderful length of rib to accommodate multiple healthy kids.  Northwind will compliment Chiffon beautifully with his broad chest, solid frame and rock hard hooves.  These kids will come out ready to climb in your lap if their temperament is anything like either mom or dad.  Due 1/4/25, they will be eligible for registration as Purebred w/NKR. 

LPR Northwind X HTFL Miss Bianca

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. As a FF, I decided to pair her with the bold and impressive Northwind.  I'm confident that combining his assets with hers will result in some no-nonsense, hassle-free, hearty kiko kids! These Kids will be coming early January and will be eligible for registration w/NKR as Purebred.

FPR Hawthorn's Saffron X LCLL Red Alder

Alder's dam is developing deep roots in the foundation of my purebred kiko herd. I have every reason to believe Alder will follow in her momma's footsteps and produce doelings that I simply won't be able to part with. These coming kids, sired by Saffron, are another of my most anticipated kids of the year. I have to remind myself that it's important to maintain genetic diversity in the herd, but this maternal line is unsurpassed, and just keeps proving to be stronger and more consistent with each generation.  They will be able to be registered w/NKR as Purebred. Coming Jan. 6th, 2025. 

FPR Hawthorn's Saffron X LPR Nautica

I know I say this a lot, but Nautica is another one of my favorites. Nautica is from Lookout Point Ranch and was born and raised with virtually no human intervention. She was a triplet born to a dam who was accidentally bred at 4 months old and gave birth at 9 months of age. Despite all that, Nautica has flourished and matured into a lovely, balanced, gentile natured young doe.  Saffron seemed like the natural choice for this first freshener, who's kids will be well-rounded and vigorous. Eligible for registration as Purebred and due to arrive 1/8/25. 

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 next season 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 (170 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.   

LPR Northwind X LPR Friday (Chewy)

I absolutely love combining old and new genetics, and this is just one of those pairings. At 9 years old, Chewy is just starting to show her age and has truly proven herself to be productive, hearty and maternal, with a perfect udder after all these years. Chewy is not a big doe but she weans more than her weight in kids year after year, and there's nothing she'd rather do. Despite being retired from her previous breeder's program, Chewy will have the opportunity to continue to do what she loves while here on Lampa Creek. These kids should inherit plenty of size and frame from their sire, Northwind and their maternal grandsire, the legendary LPR Chewbacca. They will be NKR eligible as PB and are expected on Jan. 20th. 

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 is sure 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 5 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 these kids to be worthy of representing the breed and going on to be registered as Purebred w/NKR. 

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

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 a proven doe
