We have probably twelve seasons in Idaho. Most of them are wet, and half of them are very cold. The other half… I wouldn’t say are brutally hot. We only have one season that’s really hot, but we can range in temperatures from the negative 20s Fahrenheit up to 115 Fahrenheit with the extremes, and our Kiko rarely seek shelter. They will sleep out in the snow; they will be snowed upon and have a blanket of snow on them and they don’t mind. They don’t mind the wind. They will forage during the rain. The only time you see them really seek shelter is if it is a driving, pelting, soaking rain or hail. Those are the two types of weather they don’t want. Otherwise, you wouldn’t know we were having weather at all. So, when we evaluate a herd, a Kiko is different from other breeds. We don’t have a great standard. So, while it is important to have a good structural confirmation so that the animal can perform, the animal can give birth, the animal can walk correctly, the animal can lead correctly, we don’t judge them the same way other breeds are judged. We’re looking at other criteria. And, those criteria are all measurable criteria with data. For our does, we’re looking at her kidding percentage; we’re looking at her motherability. Around 1992, many Kikos were exported to the United States. Boer goats were initially more popular, but they did not adapt well to the humidity of the sub-tropical southeastern states. Studies revealed that, in this area, Kiko goats consistently performed better than Boer, and were as hardy and productive as Spanish goats, while yielding higher carcass weights. American breeding goals continue to promote survivability with minimal inputs together with high productivity.

Kiko Argüello hace caso a su manera, convencido de su carisma, entusiasmado con sus éxitos. Numerosos prelados siguen quejándose de que algunas comunidades de kikos funcionan de manera paralela a la diócesis, como si fueran independientes. Ni caso. El papa Francisco ha cerrado el debate el pasado día 5 de mayo asistiendo a la celebración de los 50 años de Camino Neocatecumenal en Roma, en un largo espectáculo desarrollado en el campus de la universidad Tor Vergata ante 150.000 seguidores. For the love of goats! We are talking about everything goat. Whether you’re a goat owner, a breeder, or just a fan of these wonderful creatures, we’ve got you covered. And now, here is Deborah Niemann.

We have a very high kidding percentage in our herd. A lot of the doe lines that we have have very high kidding percentages. We had a 12 year old that retired with a kidding percentage of, I believe, 274%. So, our kidding average usually is right around 230-240%. That said, we have very few singles, even among our first fresheners. We can have triplets and quads with first fresheners, and we have had four sets of quintuplets Interesting. So, is there any particular type of person or goat owner or whatever that Kiko would be especially good for or not good for? If somebody’s considering Kikos? Wow, that is incredible. And then, what is kidding season like? Because, most dairy goat breeders are pretty hands-on, whereas most sheep breeders are pretty hands off. It’s pretty much 180 degrees different. So, where do Kiko goats fall into that? How much attention or care do they need during kidding season? Actualmente Argüello cuenta con más de un millón de fieles que se reparten entre 105 países. Además, dispone de 17.000 comunidades, 4.900 parroquias , 52 seminarios y varias universidades, entre ellas la de San Antonio de Murcia. Para algunos, explica El Replicante, «Kiko Argüello se disputa la plaza con Santo Padre, el Papa Francisco, como el líder más importante del catolicismo de lo que llevamos de siglo XXI». La vida de los «kikos» Kikos were developed from feral goats in New Zealand and dairy goats, and they have no breed standard. This means there is a lot of variation between individual Kiko goats. Karen talks about the wide variation in sizes, as well as feeding, kidding, and selling meat.

The church of the Monastery was destroyed three times in its history. The current church dates from 1745.Con ese dinero pagan a más de mil familias en misión; cada año invitan a unos 150 obispos a encuentros para explicarles el Camino; sostienen sus 46 seminarios (en los que gastan casi 18 millones al año); tienen un centro religioso en Israel, la Domus Galilae, para organizar cursos bíblicos, y centros especiales en Porto San Giorgio (Italia), Lima (Perú) y San Pedro del Pinatar y El Escorial (España). ¿De dónde procede ese dinero? Sobre todo de los diezmos. Cada familia entrega el 10% de sus ingresos a la comunidad. Sus dirigentes utilizan esos fondos sin rendir cuentas a nadie. El fruto seco más beneficioso para la salud es sin duda alguna la nuez. Es rica en omega-3, un ácido graso esencial para reducir el colesterol y los triglicéridos, además de mantener una presión arterial saludable. Además, es un alimento muy versátil que se puede consumir de diversas formas, tales como en ensaladas, como aperitivo o en postres. No cabe duda de que incluir nueces en nuestra alimentación diaria nos aportará grandes beneficios para nuestra salud. También ha roto con muchas de las parafernalias ceremoniales, frente a corrientes internas de muchos jerarcas, entre otros el papa Ratzinger o el cardenal Antonio Cañizares, que querrían volver al latín e, incluso, a celebrar misas de espaldas a los fieles, y que execran de la presencia de guitarristas y folkloristas en las misas de domingo, en las bodas, bautizos y hasta en los entierros.

Su poder económico es incalculable. Siempre oculto y en la sombra, el poderío del millón de kikos extendidos por el mundo lo gestiona la Fundación Familia de Nazaret para la Evangelización Itinerante, constituida en Madrid, el 3 de noviembre de 1992, por el cardenal Suquía. Una fundación que tiene personalidad jurídica propia tanto en el ámbito eclesiástico como civil. Según sus estatutos -que desconocen la mayoría de los kikos-, su fin es organizar el movimiento y sostenerlo económicamente, por medio de la «gestión de oblaciones, contribuciones, donaciones, herencias y legados que le sean conferidos por los fieles de las comunidades neocatecumenales y por otros entes y personas privadas». Eso significa en dinero contante y sonante casi 120 millones de euros anuales. But, I have had to assist in birth before with the Kiko. With a large herd, inevitably, there are some issues. We’ve had malpresentation things. We’ve had moms that were surprised by the number of kids they had and were separated from a few. But for the most part, they take care of it on their own. And, I think part of that is also because, in our management style, because we are unable to assist at the point of birth, we do not breed doelings. We carry our doelings over until they’re 18 months old, to breed them at 18 months. And then, they kid when they are two year olds. And, part of that is because we want them to grow and lay down a good foundation of calcium; it takes a lot of calcium to grow and lactate during pregnancy. But, the other part of it is when they get to experience birth in the herd with their mothers and their sisters as doelings, we watch them even become babysitters for their younger siblings. And, they learn a lot of these mothering skills. They watch their mothers call, they watch the babies respond, they watch how mothers discipline the babies, and they don’t seem to be as surprised by what’s happening to them when they kid themselves.

And, we look at worming records over a lifetime. So, when we put out our sale list for our kids, we show the kid’s weaning weight, we show the dam’s weight, we show the sire’s weight—because Kiko can range significantly in weight. You can have mature does that are 90 pounds and mature does that are 190 pounds. Awesome. So, go ahead and just give us a little bit of history on the Kiko breed and what got you involved. Kykkos Monastery ( Greek: Ιερά Μονή Κύκκου or Κύκκος [ locally [ˈt͡ʃikʰos]] for short, Turkish: Cikko Manastırı), which lies 20km west of Pedoulas, is one of the wealthiest and best-known monasteries in Cyprus. Francisco José Gómez de Argüello y Wirtz, o Kiko Argüello, creó en 1964 el Camino Neocatecumenal, movimiento conocido como el de ‘los kikos’. En su camino, a lo largo de todos estos años, ‘Los kikos’ ha conseguido instaurarse como uno de los movimiento católico más numeroso y bullicioso entre los nuevos modos de organizarse después de la crisis de las congregaciones clásicas dentro de la Iglesia católica. Su comportamiento ante los obispos diocesanos, muchos abiertamente hostiles, y la originalidad o extravagancia de sus liturgias fueron retrasando la aprobación de sus estatutos década tras década. En 2012 lo hizo por fin Benedicto XVI, en una ceremonia a la asistieron 7.000 neocatecumenales y cinco cardenales. Se les impusieron muchas exigencias para el reconocimiento, como la de acudir al menos una vez al mes a las misas de sus parroquias, aunque sin abandonar las de su organización. "Buscad siempre la comunión con los obispos de las iglesias particulares de las que formáis parte", les reclamó el Papa alemán, ahora emérito.Wow. That is really interesting, because I know a lot of first fresheners, when they are in labor, they sound like they are being torn limb from limb. And I’m just sitting there with them going, “Honey, it’s okay. It’s normal. You’re not dying, I promise.” But, once they’ve done it, then, you know, next year, they’re like, they know what’s happening, and they’re really quiet. But, we also use kidding pens, so they don’t usually see other goats giving birth, unless they happen to see it, you know, within a couple days before they kid themselves. Muchos jerarcas de la Iglesia execran de la presencia de guitarristas y folkloristas en bodas, bautizos y hasta en entierros
