Farm Displays
A Farm Display is an excellent way to show off your farm and bloodlines. Some KikoFest attendees do not have access to the Internet and many are new goat producers. This is a way to advertise your farm to future potential buyers. So bring pictures of your Kikos and LGDs to show off and start up conversations with other Kiko raisers and enthusiasts.
- Farm Display Hints:
- Pictures of herdsires and does with bloodlines listed or a copy of their Registration Papers.
- Pictures of your kid crop, birth weights, 30 day weights, 90 day weights, adg, etc.
- Pictures of any Kikos you have for sale.
- Your contact info available ( business cards work best )
- Give a description of your management practices.
- List your goals for your Kikos.
- List the different Classifications you are breeding. ( New Zealand, AP, Boki, MeatMaker, Commercial etc... )
- A lot of Farm Displays use the 3-sided Display Poster Boards and some have used laptops for PowerPoint Displays or Picture Slide Shows, digital picture frames can also be used for the Picture Slide Shows. *The IKGA is not responsible for safe-keeping of any personal property.
