Registration and testing fees range from $75-$100, depending on tests required by the purchaser.
What type of registration/certificate comes with a Kiko goat?
Each purchaser will receive a certificate of registration from the National Kiko Registry. The registration paperwork will be filed at the time the deposit is applied. Typical processing of DNA, microchipping, and registration takes 3-5 weeks. The purchaser will receive all documents related to the purchase from the National Kiko Registry.
How do you care for your livestock?
Our livestock are raised with a focus on health, proper nutrition, and responsible animal care. They have access to native forage, quality hay, balanced minerals and appropriate supplemental feed. We regularly monitor body condition, hoof health, and overall well-being, and provide preventative care as needed.
What are your sale terms and conditions for livestock?
All livestock sales are made on a first-come/first-serve basis. A 50% deposit is required to reserve your animal with the remaining balance due at pickup or delivery. Deposits are fully refundable within 7 days but become non-refundable once registration paperwork has been submitted.
Registered Kiko goats include applicable registration documents, DNA parentage results, a microchip, and an ear tag.
Can I come see your livestock before I purchase?
Yes! We invite people to come camp on the ranch to experience a lifestyle long forgotten in today's modern world. Bring your self-contained recreational vehicle or just a tent to camp on the ranch. We recently added a modern outhouse for our campers to use. Come spend a weekend with us, enjoy our modern homestead, and take the chance to visit Saguaro National Park, or take an off-road adventure through Ironwood Forest National Monument.
