Kiko
The Kiko breed came to the US from New Zealand in the 80’s and early 90’s but it has really grown since the 2000’s when breeders started crossing them with Boers.

Kiko’s are great mothers, and have been developed with little human intervention whereas a lot of the purebred Boers need more hands-on management.

The Kiko goat does extremely well with foraging on pasture and not needing supplemental grain for finishing.

The Kiko is a hardy breed that is also parasite resistant and resilient, meaning that they tend to have very low loads of parasites, and if they do get them, they handle it well.

They have twins, and triplets frequently and can raise them on their own as Kiko dams produce a good amount of milk for their kids. They also have less upper respiratory issues and hoof rot problems.

They are commonly used with cattle producers to eat the forage that the cows leave behind. This breed has economic value and advantages over other breeds due to the strict culling that has been used to develop it.

Turkey Talk

So...there are pumpkins everywhere as well as the recommendation to feed goats pumpkin as a natural dewormer, sparking the Great Pumpkin Debate.
Does it work? Studies say no.
If your goats like them, great - but if they don't - no worries.
