Thank you! for your interest in Kickadee Hill. 2009 will mark our 26th year of raising dairy goats. Our goal is to breed Saanens who produce well and have the structural soundness which enables them to be productive well into their later years. We aim for level lactations with high components. We want low maintenance does with easy temperaments. And of course it is fun to show, so we like our animals to be competitive as well.

We attended three shows in 2008. Petunia finished her Permanent Championship by earning two milking legs to go with her dry leg and Best Junior Doe in Show from last year. Jorgette earned two milking legs and a Best Senior Doe in Show award over 108 seniors. Violet earned one milking leg to go with her dry leg and Best Junior Doe in Show from last year. Louise went out once where she continued her winning streak by earning Best of Breed and Best Senior Doe in Show. We have four dry yearlings. Three of those dry yearlings earned their dry legs (Diva, Abigail, Fiona) and two of them were awarded Best Junior Doe in Show (Diva, Fiona). Angel was Junior Champion twice where there weren’t enough Juniors for Saanens to be official, and then was a bridesmaid (Reserve Champion) four times at the shows that were official.

Our herd was appraised in 2008. Our milkers appraised 89-92. One of the 89’s is Fuzzy who is an 8 year old this year. The rest of the 89’s are first fresheners who cannot appraise higher by ADGA rules. Our four dry yearlings all appraised “Excellent” overall. In the buck barn, Gabe appraised 92 and Arlo appraised 90, and both of them are two year olds. It was an excellent appraisal session for us!

We hand raise all of our kids, even the wethers, so you can expect a calm, well-socialized kid when ordering from Kickadee Hill. We strive to give our kids optimum care so that they can grow to reach their full potential. We’ve had a CAE prevention program in place since 1991. Kids are taken from their dams at birth and fed heat-treated goat colostrum and pasteurized goats’ milk. We routinely treat for coccidia with amprolium and routinely deworm with fenbendazole. Kids are vaccinated with CDT and are given Bo-Se and vitamins ADE.

Kid deposits are honored in the order received. If you select a second choice kid, it is honored ahead of a subsequent order’s first choice. We require a $100 deposit to hold the kid of your choice. If we do not offer the kid for sale for any reason, your deposit will be refunded promptly or transferred to an alternate choice, whichever you prefer. The balance may be paid in cash at the time of pick-up, or it may be paid by check two weeks in advance of pick-up, whichever is easier for you. Prices listed are “at the farm”. The buyer is responsible for health certificates, vet fees, shipping charges, etc. We require pick-up of your kid by one month of age. Prices are subject to change on kids that are not pre-ordered.

If you would like more information, please contact us. We are always happy to pull up a chair and talk goats.
