Herd Moms of Rocky Hill Kikos
To raise high quality goats you have to gather high quality does as well as bucks. I narrowed in on some genetics I was interested in and traveled across many states to buy herd moms for the 2018 breeding season. In 2019 I purchased six Sundance Kid daughters and other performance proven does to add to my herd for 2019 breeding season.
In 2020 and 2021 I have culled hard removing unwanted qualities from my herd. I've added some great replacements from my own genetics as well as purchased some of the best yearlings available across the country. In 2021 I purchased the top selling does at both the CUSKA Spring fling and BPI sale.
I have around 40 herd moms who kid each year. I'll be featuring some of them here and update from time to time to add variety. Be sure to check back periodically for updates.

LFK H886 SDK Flower Child
April 2019
 Flower Child with one of her triplets
12/29/2019
Flower Child was in the breeding pen with RDH Strike Gold, due in March 2021. Flower Child kidded triplet boys on November 29, 2019. That cross went so well look for a repeat in 2020. |
I had the opportunity to purchase this amazing doe at the 2019 Cookville NKR Sale. High selling doe at $5300, and in my opinion, she's worth it! I'll be retaining several of her offspring in my doe herd.
The sire of this doe, Sundance Kid, was the Grand Champion FEC (lowest fecal egg count) , third place in Average Daily Gain (ADG), and Reserve Champion Top Herdsman Award winner at the 2015 Oklahoma Forage-based Buck Performance Test. Sundance Kid sired the Grand Champion Top Herdsman Award winner and the Reserve Champion Top Herdsman Award winner at the 2018 Oklahoma Forage-based Buck Performance Test out of Outlaw daughters. E35 &E36 were also Grand Champion and Reserve Champion ADG at the 2015 Oklahoma Forage-based Buck Performance Test. So, this outstanding doe has the highest ADG and Highest Parasite Resistance wrapped up in one package. She Did it again! Flower Child kidded triplets by Strike Gold on 3/9/2021. This time two big girls and an boy and they are growing fast!!! |
KDJ Tomahawk's Puddin
|
I had the opportunity to purchase this amazing doe at the 2021 BPI Sale. High selling doe at $5300, and in my opinion, she's worth it! I'll be retaining several of her offspring in my doe herd.
The sire of this doe, LFK H809 Outlaw's Tomahawk comes from the same cross that Dr Stemme had so much success from at the Oklahoma Forage-Based Buck Test. Outlaw over GHK A59(Iron Horse daughter). The dam is a Blues Son daughter from a Mr Speckles doe. Buttercup is packed with performance tested genetics and should be a great addition to my herd. |
SJH Sanja Harmony

I had the opportunity to purchase this amazing doe at the 2021 CUSKGA Sale. High selling doe at $5400, and in my opinion, she's worth it! I'll be retaining several of her offspring in my doe herd.
I attended the CUSKGA sale to deliver a buck and I had planned on picking up a couple of "value buys" to add to my doe ranks. After looking over the does in the barn and spending a lot of time talking to Jim Hicks about his consignments and looking over his performance data, I had a change of plans. Like myself, Jim is a big believer of on farm data to make management decisions and he brought his best out of about 60 does. I'm proud to say I took home his top two yearlings of his 2020 kid crop based on his data. I'm sure they will do a great job at my farm. |
AFS Roho's Big Doll

Big Doll is bred to Spitfire and will kid in the spring of 2021. Confirmed bred and due on 4/25/2021. Big Doll kidded twins by Spitfire!

I have a lot of buyers who want “big goats”. Now this is a big goat! But not a surprise when you cross Roho Grande over an Ironhore Doe!
Roho’s Big Doll is the full (littermate) sister to Roho’s Big Darlin at Dean Hill Kikos. Big Darlin is a legend, well known, and her kids are highly sought after. Big Doll is just as big as her twin sister but she’s pretty wild and not near as photogenic. I knew she was big and had to get a weight on her before putting her in the breeding pen with CGI Spitfire. She’s open and weighed in at 214 pounds! Sire: ECR Roho Grande (Rusty) Dam: GHK Z58 (Ironhorse) Genetics Include: ECR Roho Grande’, ECR Rusty, Southwest Cisco (2), COO Ironhorse, TAY Onyx, and Tasman Zorro. |
