The Kiko goat is not a show goat.  The Boer Goat is a show goat.  Kikos are larger over all and will yield more meat at a younger age, but, not a pretty show goat. The breed was developed for meat production, weaning weights, parasite resistance, less maintenance, low birth weights and an ability to browse and grow with little supplemental Feed.

Two organizations that have been helpful to me are; AKGA, American Kiko Goat Association, and ETGRA, East Texas Goat Raiser Association.  You can view their website for more info http://www.kikogoats.com/   and  http://www.etgra.com/

 There is some History and Breed standards on www.kikogoats.com that would be good information to include.  I am a member of AKGA. And ETGRA
