WDK Low Country FL24 is a 2024 model New Zealand Kiko buck. He was the #3 Overall, #3 FEC, and #5 Growth buck on the 2024 FL Buck Test. Combining growth and parasite resistance, as well as having good body capacity and sound structure, Low Country is the type of buck that will make a solid group of replacement does. I have a number of bucks that I want to try this Fall and I don’t have enough does for all of them to cover. I am located in northern Indiana but I will attend all of the remaining sales (BPI, Heartland, AKI, OK Hills…) and will be happy to deliver him to one of them and/or work out some form of transportation. Please message me with additional questions.

I’d really like to raise some Kiko goats that are built like Charlie.

I had a bit of a surprise. While I was at the MPI sale, a first time doe who I didn’t know was pregnant kidded triplet doe kids. I bought her last fall confirmed bred but she must have lost them and then got re-bred right at the very, very end of clean up last year. The sire is one of three bucks…Go figure.

Moved a couple three yearling does out of the yearling pasture and into the mature breeding doe pasture. They will be included in this Fall’s breeding plan.

I’m sure there’s a simple solution to keeping goats from pooping in their loose mineral bin. Can someone clue me in please and thank you.
