Kikos United hosts Buck Day at Tazewell County Fairgrounds On Saturday, October 9, Kikos United LLC, hosted its 2021


Buck Day at the Tazewell County Fairgrounds in Virginia. Buck Day was a free event and was open to the public.


It was the perfect introduction to meat goat production. Buck Day educated attendees on the benefits of raising and selling Kiko goats with a turn-key approach covering everything from your first purchase to marketing your established farm.

New farmers, cattle ranchers and micro-farms alike were en- couraged to attend. This event was co-hosted by Tazwell, Va., res- idents, James and April Wilson, owners of Circle W Ranch and their Kikos United partners, Charles and Sherri Reece, owners of Dean Hill Kikos of Pleasant Shade, Tenn. “We are beyond proud to bring this event to Tazewell,” April Wilson said. “As part of the Kiko breeders community, James and I knew Tazewell was the perfect place to host this event that covers a lot


of topics both for those new to meat goats and the established breeders.”


This one-day event featured Kiko bucks from Virginia, Tennes- see, South Carolina and North Carolina. Future and current producers from Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and West Virginia were also in atten- dance.
