Hideaway Farms

Hideaway Farms, Kiko goat breeders in Hillsboro, IL, are located in Montgomery County and the St. Louis area. Mark Hughes and Emily Hughes have nurtured a small herd of Kiko goats for over five years, participating in national registry programs and conducting routine parasite monitoring, hoof care, and vaccination protocols.

Their herd grazes on rotational pastures framed by mature timber and accesses a simple barn with fresh bedding and ample ventilation. Goats are socialized from an early age through regular handling, which contributes to calm and curious temperaments in both kids and adults.

Visitors often note the farm’s relaxed pace and the family’s hands-on approach to goat wellness. The Hughes family combines traditional forage-based feeding with mineral supplementation to support strong bones and healthy coats. Their consistent focus on gentle training and herd health has produced animals well suited for small-scale homesteads.
