Kiko  goats are bred for meat originating in New Zealand. They are prized for  hardiness and profitability as meat animals. While the breed was originally  created and solidified in New Zealand, these goats are currently found  in many locations, particularly the  United States. Its ability to survive and thrive in harsh conditions make many  people consider these goats a highly profitable breed to own. The  word kiko is the Maori word for meat. These  animals were bred for a singular purpose. While all goats can be eaten, not all goats reach an edible size  quickly, and many require large amounts of food to reach that size. Kiko goats  were created to avoid these problems in goat meat production, and it is claimed  that the breed provides the most profit with the least input of resources, such  as time, land, or food.
 
Initial  development of kiko goats began with Garrick and Anne Batten in New Zealand.  They were later joined in their project by Goatex Group Limited. Initially, the  breed was created by crossbreeding New Zealand's feral goat population with  Anglo Nubian, Saanen, and Toggenburg breeds. The original feral goats were  descendants of  goats imported from Britain, as well as Angora goats,  they had developed into survival-focused animals but with limited meat  yield.

Selective  breeding and crossbreeding continued, focusing on survivability and growth rate.  In 1986, the breed was dramatically improved from the original feral stock and  the breed was officially established. No more crossbreeding was used, although  the breed continued to improve with selection of the best specimens of kiko  goats.  Kiko  goats are typically white, although many are colored.  Females are known to be good milk producers, allowing the  breed to sustain more twin births. The animals grow relatively quickly to a  harvestable size without much additional feed, which is one of the breed’s main  selling points.
 
The  reputation of kiko goats maintains that the animal can live almost anywhere  eating almost anything and still reach a size desirable in a meat animal. This  is because these goats browse efficiently and convert most energy into meat  production. Although raised to survive in the hills of New Zealand, a kiko goat  is  able to thrive in mountains, dry areas, and other  unconventional farmland. These characteristics are what make kiko goats so  desirable for both large and small goat operations.
