The kids are weaned! We weighed them all, gave
them their first vaccination and worming, did some math and computed their Average Daily Gains for each. No creep feed,
no supplemental feeding of any kind and we averaged over .25 lbs/day for the 100% Spanish kids, .31 lbs/day on the 50/50 Spanish/Kiko
kids (hybrid vigor in action) and .25 lbs/ day average on the 75/25 Spanish/Kiko kids.
The kid with the highest gain was a 100% Spanish doeling (not a buck!) who gained
.38 lbs/ day with her twin sister gaining .24 lbs/day. These kids will be ready for new homes the first week of July.
Four hand-picked doelings will be going to the SW Missouri Meat Goat Producers Production Sale in September. Contact
us if you are interested in heritage Spanish kids or Spanish/Kiko crosses to give your own herd a "boost!"
