Herd Sires
One look at GHK Iron Master leaves no doubt that he is the son of the famous COO Iron Horse out of a GFI Wild Bill doe. His pedigree includes many notable sires including, TAY Onyx, Tasman Zorro, Goatex The Phantom, MoneyMaker, Sunboy Stanton 149, aka "Nick", Goatex Terminator, SLR Terminator's XX, and CCR Moose 928. We are excited for the opportunity to carry on the lineage of so many great influential sires.
MCR Transformer is the son of GHK High Voltage out a GHK Rainmaker doe, HSR Overflow. Born March of 2019, he is a perspective herd sire that we are excited to watch develop. His lineage includes grandsire, Goatex Generator, Sunboy Waco 139, Loverboy, Sunboy Stanton 149, aka "Nick", MoneyMaker, and Goldmine's Heritage. Stay tuned to see what this young buck will accomplish.

The following is a sampling of the great bucks whose genetics make up or will make up the foundation of our breeding program. Click on their photos or names to see full pedigrees.
COO Iron Horse.... Maybe the single greatest buck in the Kiko industry in this breeder's opinion. We consider ourselves blessed to have one of his sons as our main Herd Sire as well as two of his daughters serving as foundation does in our program. We will try to help keep his genetics alive not only through his children but also through AI work that we have planned with his semen straws that were collected by Dr. David Sparks and Linda Sparks at Goat Hills Kikos.
Sunboy Stanton 149 aka "Nick" may very well be the most influential buck in the history of the Kiko breed. His children are found in more pedigrees than any other goat we have found (with good reason). While we are not lucky enough to have any of his sons or daughter's in our herd we do have some of his grandchildren as well as Semen Straws from two of his sons. We hope to use these straws in the coming years to have even more Nick influence in our herd.
Blue's Son is what happens when you breed a Nick son to a Nick daughter. He is proof that it is hard to have too much Nick. His children are known for being some of the most parasite resistant goats in the Kiko industry. We feel fortunate to have two of his daughters in our herd and plan to use him in AI projects in the very near future.
GHK Cherokee Fiddler was bred to cross well with Iron Horse genetics according to Linda Sparks at Goat Hill Kikos. There is no doubt that is exactly what his children do. His daughters are known as some of the best mothers as well as adding great size to your herd.
WMB Hobo in 2016 Gary Cunningham commented "that his offspring are the most parasite tolerant of any goat he ever owned." We currently have a daughter of Hobo in our herd and look forward to having more of his children through our AI program. In 2020 we are pairing Hobo genetics with two of our favorite does out of Blue's Son and Rainmaker.
GIN V33 Norseman is the son of BBM Dale bred to a Tasman Aristocrat daughter. Norseman comes from lines that are known as some of the great doe makers in the industry. We are planning to AI Norseman to one of our Blue's Son daughters in the fall of 2021 to add more great genetics to our herd.
TLF Exceller is a son of Nick with Goldmine and Goliath on his dam side. We are planning on AI breeding Exceller to an Iron Horse doe in the fall of 2021 to add more Nick to our lineup.
GHK High Voltage is the son of Generator out of a Sunboy Waco 139 aka "Lightin" doe. He is known for passing on size to his children. We are fortunate to have one of his sons serving as a Junior Herd Sire as well as a daughter in our doe herd.
