Welcome to Swampy Acre Kikos. We have been raising goats for over 27 years. We are a member of the National Kiko Registry. We began raising a few dairy goats to clear some land and before long our herd grew. We added Boer goats. Then came 4-H projects. We began researching Kikos due their parasite resistance, maternal qualities and ability to gain weight special feed. We also found that Kikos are excellent mothers. Our Kiko herd began with our NKR registered
New Zealand buck TMK C62 in 2014 and has grown from there. BFI Ash, a son of 62, was our herd sire for a few years sold heir bloodlines include GH Apache Loverboy; Sunboy 117 Loverboy (top and bottom) ; Betula Hill Moneymaker; Tay Onyx; Coo Iron Horse; Mr. Speckles. We breed for the high quality characteristics of Kikos. We continue to improve our herd for parasite resistance, easy birthing, good mothering and ability to raise multiple babies without having to bottle feed any.
In April 2020 we added BKK Denali, his sire is Sequoia and his grand sire is Indian Outlaw. Denali proved to be a beneficial addition to our herd. He added size, color, muscle, parasite resistance to our kids and virility noticeable in our very young bucklings. He weighed in at nearly 300 pounds and had a wonderful wonderful temperament. He is gentle with the does. We continue to be selective with a goal to improve our herd and the Kiko breed. In addition to Denalie we added Hua Koati. He has Hobo and Pango Hua bloodlines. He was a wonderful addition to breed our Denali does, but he moved on to his own herd.
In 2024 we also retained a 2 bucks that we used to breed a few does.
Denali's Outlaw Legend out of Denali and Koati Pango a cross between a Denali Doe, Sweet Pea and Hua Koati.
In 2024 we purchased DJG Strike's Stay Gold from Gibbons Family Farm. He has a large frame and has been a fast grower with lots of muscle and parasite resistance. He is an easy keeper. In February 2025, Stay Gold through his first kids, triplets that were large and fast growing. We retained a doe from this breeding, and she has not disappointed. She comes from a farm raised Denali doe that has a large frame and is very parasite resistant. We look forward to the Stay Gold kids due between December and March.
While the sire is 50% of the kids, we also place high value on excellent breeding does. We look for large framed fast growing does with great maternal instincts, parasite resistance with correct teats that can maintain a good udder and raise multiple kids. We look for the same good genetics in our does as we do our herd sires.
We register are goats with the NKR.
We recently added a new buck, Hua Koati. He is a little over 1 year old and has Pango Hua and Hobo in his bloodlines.

DJG STRIKE'S STAY GOLD is currently our herd sire.
