Thank you! for your interest in Kickadee Hill. 2008 will mark our 25th 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 four shows in 2007. Alice finished her Permanent Championship as a two year old first freshener. She was Best of Breed one time and Best in Show one time - quite a feat for a first freshener! Even though Louise was stale from milking through from 2006, she was our “doe to beat” this year. Louise was Best of Breed four times (one of which had 27 senior Saanen does in the competition!) and was Best in Show twice. We had eight dry yearlings to show this year. Six of them earned dry legs, and four of them also earned Best Junior Doe in Show the day they earned their dry legs. Stuckey, our two year old buck, earned his Permanent Championship this year as well.

Our herd was appraised in 2007. Our milkers appraised 87-92. Four of our eight dry yearlings appraised “Excellent” overall. Even our bucks did well. Stuckey appraised 89, with a score of “Excellent” in General Appearance. Gabe scored 86(VVV) as a yearling.

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.
