K-J Ranch

K-J Ranch raises Kiko goats in Payette, Idaho, in Payette County and the Treasure Valley near Boise. Carol Gerken and Tina Blasdell follow established herd health practices, including regular vaccinations, hoof trimming and parasite monitoring overseen by a local veterinarian. The goats graze on rotational pastures supplemented with locally grown hay, and young kids are socialized with daily hands-on care to support their development. The ranch uses simple fencing and open shelters to protect animals from harsh weather while allowing free movement and natural foraging.

The ranch’s focus on natural breeding cycles and gentle handling has produced stock known for calm temperaments and strong maternal instincts. Visitors appreciate the family farm’s calm atmosphere and the owners’ willingness to share tips on sustainable management. K-J Ranch maintains clean facilities and follows biosecurity measures to keep its herd healthy year-round. K-J Ranch participates in regional livestock gatherings to exchange breeding insights with other goat enthusiasts.
