I truly learn and gain more information on managing meat goats registered or not on your channel, but when you mentioned how the buck will start urinating on his legs and beard to attract the does to kick off the breeding season, I came up with a plan.... I asked my wife if she would be more attracted to me if I urinated on my legs and beard... The Warden said I would be sleeping outside. Back to the drawing board....

When you cross with a Kiko buck, does it only apply to commercial does or can you cross a register buck on any doe regardless of breed or mix to get the percentage.

@BoisDArcKikos

2 жыл бұрын

Registered Kiko buck to any doe will get you a 50% Kiko doeling then it goes up from there. It has to be out of a registered Kiko buck and you can’t register buckling til they are from a purebred doe.

May be a dumb question but. Do you always keep the does with the bucks or are they separated?

Not a dumb question. I separate them until breeding.

All New Zealand’s come from the original gentics that entered the US in the 90’s Yea without papers they are just commercial. But at least you could register them later on if you needed too.

What price do the commercials go for? Also is commercial the terminology used in all breeds when referencing standard goats with no lenyagy?

Fill out NKR forms on registered sire bred to a unregistered doe then the doeling can be registered at 50% to get 75% breed to a 50% doe to a registered sire then you can get a 75 percentage registered doeling.

If I got a newzealand kiko buck and I breed it with a regular off breed goat will the kids be 50% kiko? And if I keep breeding the kids with 100% newzealand kiko bucks will the kids eventually turn to 100% newzealand kiko after 4 years?

Yes your first kid crop out of your registered buck will be 50%. Yes you can do a bred up with your doelings to 96%. It takes 4 times then they will be able to register at purebreds.
