[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 503477, member: 2653"] That's the point of having kiko blood in the mix. Kiko's are generally more parasite resistant than Boers, and thrive in our envinronment. They also are less labor intensive (they rarely need hoof trimming) The does that I'm working on getting now are Boki (50/50 Boer and Kiko's), and I'll use a boer or kiko buck on them. The main thing seems to be the coloring. I will have to adjust the herd to make sure that the offspring have the red/brown head of the boer. Seems like the black of angus all over again; but you have to produce what the public wants. :nod: [/QUOTE]
