About Kinder GoatsAbout Kinder Goats





The Kinder Goat breed began in the late summer of 1985, when Zederkamm Farm's Nubian buck died, leaving two Nubian does without a mate. Since they also kept pygmy goats and did not want to take the does to another farm to be bred, they were bred with their pygmy buck. Left to his own devices, the buck accomplished the two successful breedings, making use of log sections and sloping land to reach the correct height. On 30 June and 4 July 1986, the first three Kinder does were born. It was another year before the first Kinder buck was born.

It is easily possible for a Kinder doe weighing about 115 pounds to produce five kids who in 14 months can weigh 80 pounds each and dress out at 50 pounds thereby producing 250 pounds of meat each year.

Unlike many breeds, Kinder goats are seasonal breeders, meaning they can be bred throughout the year; this trait is inherited from their pygmy ancestors.Also, they frequently have multiple births - There have been 7 reported births of sextuplets!

Kinder Goat milk has high butterfat content, sometimes having higher than 7 percent butterfat; it also has higher amounts of milk solids, yielding larger amounts of cheese.

In spite of their smaller size, Kinders are generally more muscular than a full-size dairy goat, often yielding dressing percentages over 60%.
