Kirsten Vary

Kirsten Vary and Andrew Vary breed Kiko goats in Arion, IA, Crawford County and Loess Hills near Council Bluffs. They are members of the United States Kiko Goat Association and conduct routine health assessments for every kid. They’ve been raising goats for more than a decade and keep detailed breeding records to track lineage and performance.

Their herd is raised on fenced, rotating pastureland with ample open-air shelters, ensuring gentle handling from birth and early exposure to farm life. They focus on steady weight gain and resilient temperaments through careful feeding practices, regular handling, and socialization. Kids stay with does for at least eight weeks, promoting strong maternal bonds and robust immunity. Their kids often serve in 4-H projects and small homesteads, reflecting a steady demand among local families. Testimonials note the Varys’ attentive communication and balanced temperament in their kids.
