2026 BREEDING LINEUP
Bear with me folks, as I work on my anticipated pairings for the 2026 kidding season.
I'll be using two new bucks this year, as well at my favorite proven herd sire, ZVA Brass Tacks.
ZVA Brass Tacks X LPR Gracie - Purebred
I'm not sure if we're going to consider these kids early for the '26 kidding season, or late for 2025... either way, these out-of-season fall kids will be a welcomed addition. Gracie is no spring chicken. She's been around the block a time or two and knows how to raise some outstanding kids! With her large stature (180 lbs) and Brass Tacks' balanced muscle mass, these kids will be bulky and vigorous with solid feet and top parasite resistance. They will also pass on productive longevity, as demonstrated by their surprisingly youthful 8-year-old dam who still sports a perfect udder and generous milk production. These kids will be eligible for registration w/NKR.
ZVA Brass Tacks X LPR Londyn - Purebred
Another out-of-season breeding here. WOOHOO! Due in September, these are going to be some STOUT kids out of a low maintenance, sweet natured LPR doe and sired by my favorite buck, Brass Tacks. Kids will be eligible for Purebred registration w/NKR.
ZVA Brass Tacks X LCLL Black Friday - 100% NZ
These two produced a pair of my favorite kids in Spring of 2025. I liked the outcome so much in fact, that I've decided to duplicate the breeding. Last season, Friday snuck out after curfew and met up w/Brass Tacks without my permission, resulting in her being bred at 11 months of age. As a very young mother, she raised her twins like any experienced mother (or any Kiko) should, and both are just as lovely as can be. Now that Friday has matured, I expect this round of kids to do even better. They will be eligible for registration as 100% NZ w/NKR and are due on 1/8/26.
ZVA Paul Henry 21 X LPR Kimono - Purebred
Kimono is a classic LPR doe, directly descended from the first kiko goats brought to the US. She's a sizable girl who requires no intervention to be healthy, hearty and happy. It was the toss of a coin deciding who to pair her up with, because she will outproduce herself regardless of the buck. As I see the two of them side-by-side, I'm happy that she has been paired up with Henry because they complement each other nicely. These kids, due mid-January, will be eligible for registration w/NKR as Purebred.
ZVA Brass Tacks or ZVA Paul Henry 21 X LCLL Two Step Tango - Percentage
Tango is a remarkable young lady; She was raised a quad, to a 12 year old mother who's last set of offspring were still some of my top performing kids. Last year as a first-time momma, Tango's buckling was my best gaining kid EVER, and her doeling kept right up too. I anticipate these twins will do even better being sired by chunk monkey Brass Tacks. Despite being purebred, Tango is only registered as 75%, so bucklings will not be eligible for registration but doelings can be registered at 88% kiko w/NKR.
ZVA Paul Henry 21 X DDF Caramilk Mousse - Purebred
If you follow my Facebook page, you know that Millie is hands-down, my best doe! Millie has a 300% kidding average, consistently produces deep chests, long and level toplines and overall, the best phenotype in my herd. Millie has produced a herd sire out of her last two kiddings, which is saying a lot considering only the top 2 or 3 bucklings of the year get to go on to become a breeding buck. This year, Millie will be paired up with Henry, and the resulting kids may be her best yet. I will likely retain a doeling out of this breeding but expect to offer her two other kids at weaning. These kids will be eligible for registration as Purebred with NKR.
ZVA Brass Tacks X DDF Magically Dun - Purebred
I waited a long time to see what this doe would produce, and last season she proved she sure doesn't disappoint. Magic has checked every box on my list from weaning through maturity, and in 2025 she topped the charts by producing three perfect doelings. I've decided to cross her with Brass Tacks this year and expect the resulting kids to exceed the average daily gains, be large-framed, wide loined, full and fleshy, low-maintenance and have endearing personalities. I'm hoping for at least one doeling to keep for myself. These kids are due Mid-January and will be able to be registered as Purebred w/NKR.
ZVA Paul Henry 21 X KCR Kopf Canyon Oleksii - Purebred
If these two aren't picture perfect, I don't know what is. He maintains his figure through drought or soggy winter. I can only imagine how beautiful these kids will be, and even if they end up being solid white, they will be large-framed, low-input, productive and resilient members of any herd. Due mid Jan. and registerable as PB w/NKR.
ZVA Paul Henry 21 X MEWF Moxi - Percentage
Moxi is my only non-kiko doe, and you'd better bet she keeps right up with my highest standards and expectations! Moxi has produced 10 jaw dropping kids in just 4 breedings. Moxi has been bred to a different buck every year, but her kids are consistently some of my best gainers and mature to be big, meaty goats with all the same traits you'd expect from a kiko. Doelings will be eligible for reg. at 50% w/NKR. Bucklings won't be able to be registered but will make nice commercial herd sire with kiko vigor, Boer bulk and a splash of color to boot! These kids are due Mid-January.
ZVA Paul Henry 21 X LCLL Platinum Brass - Purebred
This is a highly anticipated breeding, considering Platinum will be my first Brass Tacks offspring to have her own kiddos. I absolutely LOVE this doe, despite her smaller frame. She's full and meaty, with a healthy rumen and a non-nonsense demeanor. I'm excited to see what these two produce, and I know I won't be disappointed. These January kids will be eligible for Purebred registration w/NKR.
ZVA Paul Henry 21 X LPR Novel - Purebred
These are going to be BIG kids! They'll have all the other wonderful qualities of the kiko as well, but most notably, they'll be BIG. Novel is a burly girl who had an amazing ADG to weaning age, but more noteworthy was her 148 lb. 14 month weight with no supplementation! Henry on the other hand, is a solid and compact, muscular guy who will compliment Novel's height and length. Novel had triplet doelings last year as a FF and I expect multiples again this time. These kids will be registerable Purebred w/NKR.
ZVA Paul Henry 21 X LCLL Maid Of Dreams - Percentage
Do these two even need an introduction?? I mean, c'mon, just look at them! Dreamy lives up to her name in every sense of the word, in size, stature, ADG, parasite resistance, etc. The only thing she hasn't done yet is produce kids of her own.
ZVA Paul Henry 21 X HTFL Dusk - Purebred
Dusky comes from my best maternal line, and is one of 4 (soon to be 5) generations of this doe line on my farm. Dusk isn't particularly flashy and won't catch your eye, but she's as productive as anyone could hope a kiko would be. She has a 300% kidding rate and doesn't lose an ounce of body condition while feeding her kids generously, with her perfect udder. I'm hoping Henry will add a little flair to these kids so that they all get the appreciation they deserve. If you want consistency, longevity, low-input kiko goats, you'd better put you name on one of these kids. You can't go wrong!
ZVA Brass Tacks X HTFL Dawn - Purebred
Typically, you use your best buck to improve on a doe's shortcomings. In this case though, Dawn will be the one making improvements no matter who she's bred to. This doe has size, bulk, length, maintains condition while feeding top gaining kids, has impeccable udder and teat structure, rock solid feet, and an easy-going temperament. This remarkable girl will improve on ANY buck she's paired with, which has already been proven thrice.
LCLL Powerhouse X MJI F0985 - 100% NZ
I took a big risk when I purchased this doe, who was already advanced in age and well above the average price-point for kikos in the PNW. That gamble paid off ten-fold in her first kidding season here on Lampa Creek. Missouri gave me two perfect specimens in 2024 and again in 2025, a doeling and a buckling each kidding. Her previous four kids were sired by Brass Tacks, so I've decided to mix it up a bit this year and breed her to homegrown 100% NZ buckling LCLL Powerhouse. It's hard to top perfection, as was the result of her 2024 & 2025 kidding, but this is an exciting pairing that will put both sire and dam to the test. These kids will be eligible for registration as 100% NZ with NKR and AKGA.
LCLL Powerhouse X KCR Kopf Canyon Crocus - 100% NZ
LCLL Powerhouse X LPR Horizon - Purebred
Horizon may not look like much, but she's one heck of a brood doe!!! Horizon knows how to grow out some outstanding kids, and outproduces herself year after year no matter who she's bred to. I have retained her daughter, granddaughter, and great grandkids, and will be welcoming a 5th generation (great-great grandkids) in 2026. I can't say enough about this senior doe and stand behind her 100%.
LCLL Powerhouse 1177 X LCLL Phantom's Brass Mask - 100% NZ
ZVA Brass Tacks X LCLL Wild Perseverance - 100% NZ
I never actually thought Sweet Percy would be healthy enough to have kids of her own, but she's a fighter and has proven she deserves the opportunity to pass her genetics on to the next generation. Due to a severe eye infection, brought on by a weakened immune system from the absence of colostrum at birth, Percy is blind in one eye. This doesn't set her back in the slightest, and in fact, she has rebounded and is thriving beyond anyone's expectations (including my vet). Percy seems to have a strong maternal instinct, demonstrated with her tendency to play "nanny" in the nursery. I fully expect her to take to her Spring kids with enthusiasm.
ZVA Brass Tacks X BWP Hinto's Cricket - 100% NZ
This pairing produced flawless twin doelings last season, both blue in color. I was so impressed with the outcome, that I felt the breeding was worth duplicating.
LCLL Powerhouse X LCLL Lemon Chiffon - Purebred
Chiffon is from one of my best maternal lines and has the nicest udder attachment I've ever laid eyes on. As a FF last season, she produced my top buckling who I very nearly kept for myself. Chiffon is a smaller framed doe, but packs of the pounds with ease, maintaining her weight year-round on mediocre forage, while raising her offspring. She's also one of my most social and comical does, making he an absolute delight, all the way around.
