HERD SIRES
HONCHO'S KEEPER
2018
Honcho's Keeper is a son of Goliath's Imprint (aka Boss), a full brother to Goliath's Keeper, and the grandson of Goatex Goliath (the largest of the originally imported bucks). His dams side is also impressive. She was a daughter of Tay Onyx (a son of Tasman Zoro) and granddaughter of Sunboy 117 (Loverboy). Honcho has been producing offspring here since late 2019 and since then he has become a fundamental part of our herd. He has already produced a few bucks that have went on to sire herds of their own. He is also producing top quality does that have all inherited his propensity for muscle development, good feet, parasite resistance, and overall hardiness. We have several of his daughters in our breeding program and so far they are showing fantastic mothering abilities and have nice udders as well. Both sons and daughters alike have had impressive confirmation, nice square chest, and have had consistent heavy weaning weights. They also have that thick, muscled rear that is so hard to get on a Kiko. As they grow and mature, they become phenomenal grazers and foragers and despite their size, they maintain body condition better, and with less input than many lines we've worked with. Honcho has sons and daughters performing well in herds as far southwest as Texas, as far north as Wisconsin and New York, and as far south east as FL. In any state, they all seem to adjust well to the different climates and management styles.
Honcho's daughter, Honcho's Legacy was the highest selling doe at the 2023 MPI in WV and in 2024 another Honcho daughter, Honcho's Big Money (formally Honcho's Juliet) was not only the MPI's highest selling doe, she broke previous records making her the highest selling Kiko goat ever in a Kiko event.
IRON MAN
2022
Iron Man is several seasons in and has quickly progressed to a top herd sire producing both does and bucks that are now performing well in many herds. He is the product of an AI, a direct son of COO Iron Horse, but we bred him differently than any pedigree we'd seen previously. Our intent was to focus on the Tasman Zorro so we used one of our does that is double bred Tasman Zorro as the recipient for the Iron Horse straw which makes Iron Man himself triple bred Tasman Zorro. This cross has absolutely impressed us. His and his offsprig's parasite resistance has been great and Famancha scores are consistent. Deworming is not part of our routine here. Conformation is exceptional in his offsping. Iron Man himself carries a large solid frame, wide chest, and has a rear that doesn't disappoint. His growth from birth to maturity was beyond impressive but more importantly, his offspring all seem to follow suit. We couldn't be more pleased with what he is producing and how he is performing on our farm and we are getting the same feed back from owners of his sons and daughters. We are looking forward to several more years of his production here as well as years of production from daughters we have retained.
BANK ROLL aka MONEY
2022
​
Money, one of our newest herd sires here is definitely showing us his value as a doe maker. His 2023/2024 kid crop was his first real season here and he set out to impress. His does are definitely impressive and although their phenotype is different from what we typically produce, his kids are fast growing and thick! We purchased him at the 2022 Cream of the Crop Sale in Indiana where he was the high selling buck, and actually the highest selling kiko of the sale. He is a son of Sunboy 117 (Loverboy) out of a Titan's Hammer daughter and we are happy to be adding these lines so close up in our production here. He was brought to the farm too late for our 2022 breeding season but he was given a small number of does in 2023. After watching his kids grow out, we gave Money a slighly larger group of does that we thought might compliment his genetic characteristics. His second kid crop was even better as a result. As we continue to collect data we will learn even more but we are really happy with the size and conformation of the offspring we have seen so far. Money has produced doe heavy crops, about 70% and we are looking forward to seeing how the daughters we have retained produce in our herd.
