| Herd Sire - Ashes Creek Kikos |

In 2018 we decided, after doing tons of research and speaking with people who have been raising Kikos for 20+ years, in order to have great success we would need to purchase a 100% New Zealand buck, who’s genetics, and family history was proven. In 2019 we purchased BKK Sequoia’s Black Thunder from Bob and Darlene Bohannon of Bohannon Kentucky Kikos. Our herd sire, Black Thunder, is on track to be as large as his sire, RDH Sequoia and his grand sire, RDH Indian Outlaw which have both proven their genetics in their offspring.

Black Thunder's grand sire, RDH Indian Outlaw is an own son of MRG Outlaw who was the high selling buck at the 2012 NKR Spot Light sale and also the sire of the winner of the 2013 and 2014 Oklahoma Forage Based buck test. RDH Indian Outlaw is also a full brother to Outlaw's Goldmine, the high selling buck at the 2014 Appalachian Kiko Invitational sale. At 14 months old RDH Indian Outlaw weighed 180 lbs. At a year and a half, he was a whopping 215 lbs. He's also very docile which is a plus with a buck of his size.
