Muddy Creek Kikos

Muddy Creek Kikos, Kiko goats, Ansley, NE, is committed to breeding hardy, well-socialized stock. Located in Custer County and central Nebraska near Grand Island, Rich and Deb Zierlein have been raising Kiko goats for several years, following American Kiko Goat Association standards. Their herd grazes on rotational pastures rich in native grasses and forbs, supporting natural foraging and strong hoof development.

Kids are handled from birth to encourage a gentle temperament, growing alongside farm dogs during family gatherings. Each kid receives routine hoof trimming, deworming, and neonatal care that support healthy development and early resilience. Careful attention to forage quality, mineral supplementation, and regular health screening maintains stock well suited to varied climates. Selection criteria emphasize sound structure and natural hardiness rather than rapid weight gain alone. The farm’s welcoming atmosphere and detailed lineage records reflect the Zierleins’ careful commitment to breeding for longevity, temperament, and functional conformation.
