Trading Kiko Goats For Spanish Goats

In this video we take are young Kiko buck that we have been growing out on a road trip. We were able to work out a deal where we traded him for two Spanish nannies. We still plan on continue to grow our Kiko herd. However, we couldn't help ourselves with the opportunity to try our first Spanish goats. We are excited to see what kind of cross that our Kiko buck Thunder and these two does will produce.

Beginning in the 1500s, the Spanish brought goats from Spain to the Caribbean Islands, then to the areas that would become the United States and Mexico. These foundation stocks were an undifferentiated Mediterranean type of goat that was once common in Spain but no longer exists, thus adding genetic and historic importance to the Spanish goat breeds that evolved in the western hemisphere.
Goats flourished in the Americas. Valued as a ready source of milk, meat, and hides, they were taken everywhere the Spanish went and became an integral part of subsistence production across southern North, Central, and South America. The use of goats for meat was also important because it allowed cattle to be reserved for the draft power essential for crop production and transportation. Spanish goats were the only goats known across the southern US and in most other parts of the Americas for over 300 years.

Thank you! I really appreciate you checking out our video. I have been watching your channel for awhile now!

[@FowlerFamilyFarm]

@@NicholsonFarms one of my subs told me to check you out. I have watched about 7 or 8 videos now and you have way more knowledge about Kikos then I do. Maybe if both of us can find time we can do a collaboration video

[@randybutler4772]

[@bethanieoberreuter6951]

Do your kiko does have good udders? Im thinking of getting out of boers ive had nothing but problems. 😅

[@NicholsonFarms]

Udders are one of the things that a cull really hard for. I only keep replacements with 2x2 teats.

[@joshuasmithee8674]

What’s an average price for good quality kiko nannies? Buck? Thanks.

[@NicholsonFarms]

It depends on several different things. For registered stock it can go anywhere from $400 and up. For commercial I would say in our area $200 dollars for a good quality animal.
