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
Another out-of-season breeding here. WOOHOO! 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 9 year old dam.
ZVA Brass Tacks X LPR Londyn - 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. 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 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 kidding's, which is saying a lot considering only the very 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.
DDF Smoking Gun X LPR Kimono - Purebred
eligible for registration w/NKR as Purebred.
ZVA Paul Henry 21 X DDF Magically Dun - Purebred
I've waited a long time to see what this doe would produce, and she sure doesn't disappoint. First time mom, Magic, has checked every box on my list from weaning through maturity. And now, she's topped the charts by producing these three perfect doelings. Their sire and dam both, have exceeded the average daily gains, are large-framed, wide loined, full and fleshy, low-maintenance and have endearing personalities. All qualities that will be passed along to these kids.
ZVA Brass Tacks 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 MEWF Moxi - Percentage
Moxi is my only breeding aged 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, that's right, triplets every time... until now LOL. I'm not sure what happened this go around, but as a single, you can bet Buster will be a HUGE weanling and likely my top gaining kid of the season. Moxi has been bred to a different buck every breeding, 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. This guy is not eligible for registration but will make nice commercial herd sire with kiko vigor, Boer bulk and a splash of color to boot! Buster is reserved and will go to his 4-H home after weaning.
ZVA Paul Henry 21 X LCLL Platinum Brass - Purebred
ZVA Paul Henry 21 X LCLL Maid Of Dreams - Percentage
ZVA Paul Henry 21 X HTFL Dusk - Purebred
ZVA Brass Tacks X LPR Nepal - Purebred
Nepal is a lovely doe with muscular density, resilient hoof structure, beat red FAMACHA under any conditions, and gentile, manageable temperament are all qualities she will be passing on to these kids. Additionally, their sire Brass Tacks is SO low maintenance and non-demanding, he tends to get overlooked. He's never been sick, injured, required deworming or hoof attention. He maintains his figure through drought or soggy winter.
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.
ZVA Brass Tacks X LCLL Tugboat - 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.
ZVA Brass Tacks X LCLL Black Friday - 100% NZ
These are two of only a few 100% NZ kids that will be born here this year. I've struggled to find New Zealand stock that holds up to the unique challenges our Coastal climate presents; most fall short and don't meet my high standard. These two kids have a sire and dam who have passed the test and have proven themselves to be able to keep up with the Purebred herd. Their dam, Friday, sure is easy on the eyes and has held a special place in my heart from the day she was born, so you can understand how pleased the results of the breeding pairing. I'll be retaining Precious but Tarnished will be available for sale as a commercial herd sire or wether.
ZVA Brass Tacks 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! Brass Tacks on the other hand, is a solid and compact, muscular guy who will compliment Novel's height and length.
ZVA Brass Tacks X LCLL Wild Perseverance - 100% NZ
ZVA Brass Tacks X LCLL Lemon Chiffon - Purebred
Chiffon is from my best maternal line and has the nicest udder attachment I've ever laid eyes on. She's proving to follow in her mom's footsteps in every way.
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.
