A
good crowd turned out on Saturday, Sept. 22, for the third annual Appalachian
Kikos Invitational Sale. This annual sale upped its game this year with more
consignors and a bigger advertising budget. The result was better goats and a
bigger crowd.
Fourteen
consignors brought more than 80 Kikos to the sale, held at the Appalachian
Fairgrounds in Gray, Tenn. Buyers were looking for good quality does but showed
little interest in the small consignment of bucks offered. Seven herdsire
prospects were offered and averaged just over $200 each.
Twenty
head of New Zealand Kiko does averaged $596 a head, with no goat selling below
$400. Forty-one purebred Kiko does averaged $445 a head, ranging in price from
$200 to $825 for the high-selling doe in the sale. These are not official numbers.
The
high-seller was a March 2012 High Meadows Kikos consignment. She was purchased
by Brent Ballinger and Ellen Kelty of Mill Creek Ranch in Bardstown, Ky.
