2012 Kids !

Our American Purebred(AP) and percentage Kiko does were bred this year to our 100% American Purebred Kiko buck (Theodus) will be on the ground beginning in February 2012. Usually twins are born beginning in late Fall through the Winter at all times of the day and in varying temperatures rarely presenting problems.  Averaging 6-7 lbs each, they're off to a good start. Occasionally we will selectively stock a few purebred Boer to produce an American BoKi (50% Boer/ 50%Kiko) registered through the IKGA as a cross breed taking advantage of the positive traits of both these fantastic breeds.  The IKGA's American Meatmaker (75% Kiko/25%Boer) kids are newly produced at our farm this year.  We're excited to see their performance.

 

December 2008 marked the launch of our USDA inspected goat meat sales program.  Our product carries this label and is flash frozen and vacuum packed at a local processor.

 

 

The Meat's in Freezer!

 

<SORRY WE ARE SOLD OUT AT THIS TIME.  CHECK BACK WITH US IN THE FALL>

 

We cashed in several of our yearlings bucks we were growing out for slaughter  Some were sold as whole carcass' for BBQ's and others packaged as special cuts for smaller quantity purchases.  The demand exceeds the supply right (how we like it).  Providing  THE goat everyone wants when they call has been difficult since the Fall.  What Recession?!?!

 

All of our packaged product is less than 1 year old, raised on grass and forage during the growing season.  Round bales of Oats hay in the winter is used as a supplement when forage is sparse.

 

Goat skin leather and hides are available as a special order item.  Please contact us immediately if you are interested in these products  so we can be sure to meet your timing requirements. 

 

Goat Sales and Meat Pricing  Click here for our Goat page

 

Packaged meat sales are strong in addition to live goat prices at the local livestock auction.  $1.50 - $2.00/lb was observed at the recent Memorial Day sale, with just 3 commercial buyers on hand at the sale.  The demand for locally grown, natural, pasture raised product is catching on despite tough economic times.

 



Typical Meat Goat Stock from our ranch.  All meat sold (USDA) is guaranteed to from our own herd an less than 1 year old.  We don't butcher older goats as the meat is often known to be tough.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height no depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Jesus Christ our Lord." -Romans 8:38 & 39

Bakers' Acres Ranch, LLC - established 2003
We made this 62 acre tract our home.  Beginning with raw land, we have built all you see.  Somehow we've ended up with 25+ goats, 2 cats, and too many dogs, on our way to...  horse ownership!  So how do you go from the American dream home in a neighborhood to a goat farm?  Don't underestimate it.  It could happen to you too!!! We've become an outdoor experience; specifically in a livestock farm setting, featuring a kid-friendly herd of goats, horses, and a variety of dogs and cats.

 

Dec 6, 2010 Kiko kids - first of the season
These are 96% Kiko kids out of Target and a 96% paint Kiko doe.  Both were sold to others in the here in the Carolina's looking to get started in raising the Kiko breed of goats.

 

This has been a strong year for goat sales as breeding stock.  The demand has exceeded our supply for quality Kiko stock.  We have a few doelings remaining from this year's kid crop and a couple of AP bucklings.  Minus 4 kids that fell victim to trusted (gone now) guardian dogs, the remaining 14 kids have flourished -9 have been sold.

Caprine Gymnastics!
Any access to a rock pile is well worth the entertainment value for goats both young and old.  You CANNOT feel bad watching a goat.  If your goats are visible from a window or door, be sure to place your rock pile in plain view.
