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. These are a few of the herd moms here and should be an example of whats out in the thickets at Rocky Hill Kikos.
I'll be featuring my herd moms here and changing them out from time to time to add variety. Be sure to check back periodically for updates.

RDH Catoosa
|
I had the opportunity to purchase RDH Catoosa at the Elite Genetics sale in April 2018. Catoosa has it all in her pedigree, exceptional size, maternal instincts, and parasite resistance.
Sire: GHK Way Beyond the Blue (Blue’s Son) Dam: RDH Calusa (RDH Mangus Coloradas) Genetics Include: Sunboy 117 (Loverboy)(2), Goatex Generator, MRG Outlaw, Iron Horse, Sunboy Stanton 149(Nick), Blue’s Son
This year I bred Catoosa to RDH Isaiah’s Pale Rider. I knew this cross would be exceptional, adding height, length of Pale Rider to Catoosa’s meaty frame. She had twins (buckling and a doeling) in early January. As a first time mom she did a great job and has an excellent (BIG) udder. She carries the Way Beyond the Blue (gene) of throwing spots and those kids turned real nice. She will not let those kids out from under her nose and I often can hear her yelling for them from the house.

RDH Delaney
|
I had the opportunity to purchase RDH Delaney at the Elite Genetics sale in April 2018. Delaney was one of a set of triplets that weaned out a total of 163 pounds at 90 days. Delaney is one of my wild girls and she doesn’t like you to handle her and when you do, you better hold on! She’s never been dewormed.
Sire: RDH Indian Outlaw (Outlaw) Dam: AFS Roho’s Diana (Roho Grande) Genetics Include: SKY S408 Sports Kat, Sunboy 117 Loverboy, ECR Roho Grande, ECR Rusty, AAS Goldmine IV, and MRG Outlaw. Delaney was in the breeding pen with Strike Gold and kids are due in early March. I’m looking forward to seeing those kids. |
RDH Donnaiah
|
I had the opportunity to purchase Donnaiah from Charles and Sherri Reece at Dean Hill Kikos when I purchased Strike Gold. Donnaiah has the great maternal instinct you see in other Isaiah’s Fire does. The cross between Isaiah’s Fire and Roho Grande does was something I wanted to build my herd around. It provides tall, does with lots of height and length.
Sire: RDH Indian Outlaw (Outlaw) Dam: AFS Roho’s Donna (Roho Grande) Genetics Include: ECR Roho Grande’, ECR Rusty, Sunboy 117 (Loverboy)(2), SKY S408 Sports Kat, Sunboy Stanton 149 (Nick), Iron Horse. Donnaiah was bred to Strike Gold and kidded twin doelings in October. She had those kids in the cutover timber in the middle of a big root ball and it took me a long time to find them. She doesn’t let them out of her sight and they have the depth, meatiness of their sire. It appears this cross is going to be something special. |
RDH Rylah

|
I had the opportunity to purchase Rylah from Charles and Sherri Reece at Dean Hill Kikos when I purchased RDH Strike Gold. She’s meaty with a big chest and frame and is a great mom like all the GHK Isaiah’s Fire does. She made a great addition to my herd.
Sire: GHK Isaiah’s Fire (Iron Horse) Dam: WMB Rilla (Hobo) Genetics Include: ECR Gloria, Sunboy Stanton 149(Nick)(2), LRF Pango Hua, WMB Hobo, Sunboy 117 Loverboy, and Iron Horse. Rylah was bred to Strike Gold and had twin doelings in October 2018. Rylah did a great job with those kids and will not let them out of her sight. Those girls are big and have the depth of their sire Strike Gold. |
BWP Sporty Vonn
RDH Vonn with two of her quads (Jan 2019)
|
I had the opportunity to purchase Vonn from Charles and Sherri Reece when I purchased RDH Strike Gold. Vonn is smaller in stature but consistently weans big kids and is a passionate mother.
Sire: BWP Super Sporty Dam: BWP Ebonite’s 136 Genetics Include: Tasman Aristocrat(2), Sunboy Stanton 149 (Nick)(2), JFK Noble, and LRF W-304 Supersport. 
Vonn was bred to Strike Gold and had QUADS in October 2018. Vonn got all those kids up and nursed and wouldn’t let any others get close to those babies. She will not let any of them out of her sight. I found a home for the buckling at a young age and the three girls are doing great.
