We offer 100% New Zealand Kikos, commercial Kikos and percentage Kikos for sale in Missouri
We’re located in the Ozarks of south-central Missouri on land that was a working farm in the 1950s before being abandoned and gradually becoming overgrown with cedar and timber.
We’ve been raising goats of various breeds for 15 years (as of 2026) but finally settled on the Kiko breed because they have worked the best for our land. We've also been keeping honey bees for the past decade and sell nucleus colonies and raw Ozark honey.
What started as an interest in livestock grew into something more — using goats not just to raise market kids, but to help restore the land itself. Today, because of the goats, pastures that were once cedar thickets are opening back up, sunlight is reaching the ground again, and the old farm is slowly becoming productive once more.
At Kiwi Kiko Goats, we raise 100% New Zealand Kikos and NZ crosses for sale selected for performance, resilience, and longevity under real pasture conditions.
Our breeding program emphasizes measurable growth, parasite tolerance, structural soundness, and maternal function. We prioritize genetics proven through performance buck tests and on-farm performance.
We do not use routine dewormers. Following traditional Kiko standards, we cull any goats that require routine deworming and rely on FAMACHA scoring and fecal egg count (FEC) data to guide selection for natural parasite resistance.
Our goal is simple: build efficient, low-input goats that thrive on forage and browse and contribute to sustainable land management.

The Kiko goat originated in New Zealand, developed from hardy feral goats that had survived for generations in rugged hill country. These goats were bred by mother nature to thrive with minimal intervention in challenging environments.
Imported into the United States in the 1990s, Kikos quickly gained a reputation for durability and efficiency in pasture-based systems. Their feral foundation and later performance-focused development make them uniquely suited for low-input management.
Kikos demonstrate average daily gains (ADG) that are competitive with Boer goats— and in some performance-tested lines exceed them — all while maintaining strong parasite tolerance and maternal instincts.
Today, Kikos are widely recognized as one of the most practical and resilient meat goat breeds available — often described as “the easy button” for producers who value hardiness, efficiency, and real-world performance.
