Thank you. They are very nice looking girls. I am so glad we bought these does. They are (2) PB kiko, (3) Boki (1/2 kiko, 1/2 boer), (1) boer-kiko-nubian, (1) kiko-spanish, (1) kiko-spanish-oberhalsi, (2) kiko-oberhalsi. I knwo which ones are the PB kikos and which are the Bo-ki but the rest I am still figuring out which is which. The guy I bought them from is a data fiend but her uses his own shorthand. I am still figuring it out. He sent me photos of the bucks they were bred to.

As for the babies, this is what I know:
The black and white girls are kiko/spanish
The two born in the trailer are 75% kiko and I am not sure the other.
The triplets are 3/4 Boer and 1/4 kiko.
The set of twins with the moonspotted doe and her brown brother, who has two little spots of his own are 75% boer and 25% kiko.
The red and traditional set of twins are 75% boer, 25% kiko.
The black doe and buckskin boy have a kiko x dam (I think the kiko-spanish-ober) and a spanish sire.


We are keeping 2 of the Savanna/kiko girls by an outside buck, probably 4 from the new group also bred to an outside buck and 4-6 more by my buck, Bullet.

We have liquidated all of the Boer does and I will be selling my Boer buck. It got to difficult to manage three bucks and I can get higher prices for kiko girls than I can boers. It takes us out of the 4-H market but we were never very heavy in that anyways.

Now comes that hard part, figuring out who to cull. I hate this part but it has to be done.
