Welcome to Cripple Creek Ranch located in Scotts Hill,
Tennessee, situated midway between Memphis and Nashville.
Our ranch consists of 110 acres of pastures and woods, which provides
numerous sources of browse and grasses for our goat herd. Our goal is to
supplemental feed our herd as little as possible and "let them be goats."
After starting out with 22 goats in Florida during 2003, we moved to
Tennessee and our herd has grown to over 140 goats, most of which were bred
and raised on our farm. We now have over 100 breeding does and 3 Purebred
Kiko Herd Sires. We raise IKGA American Premier Purebred Kikos, Percentage
Kikos (Kiko/Boer/Spanish), and Tennessee Fainting goats. We strive to
provide outstanding breeding stock to other goat farmers who need
replacement does or bucks. Some percentage bucks are sold for commercial
meat.
Our goats are free of diseases, mostly from being a closed herd, practicing
strict isolation and testing for the few goats that we've added from other
breeders, and an annual vaccination program. They receive annual
vaccinations for the prevention of CDT, along with deworming and hoof
trimming as needed.
Our goats are very well protected by our 8 Livestock Guardian dogs and we
will periodically offer Anatolian Shepherd pups for sale. Our dogs are
fantastic and although we are "surrounded" by packs of Coyotes, we have
never lost an animal to a predator. Even the hawks and buzzards steer clear
of our pastures!
We love to talk goats and are eager to learn and share our experiences, so
please feel free to stop by and visit our ranch any time you're in our area
or visit our website at

Most of our goats have names, and we love them all; however, they can all be
yours for the right price!
