Thank you for your interest in Kickapoo Valley Dairy Goats. Our farm resides in the heart of the corn belt in Central Illinois, the same place where the family farm started over 30 years ago. We began raising goats in 1981 when a doe was purchased for a great 4-H project. That doe, CH El Wick Moon's Laura, became our first permanent champion and helped to encourage our interest in breeding dairy goats. Today the goat business is a partnership between the family with three generations of Jodlowski's managing the farm.
Our herd has consistently flourished in the last 30 years producing permanent champion does, high placing animals at National Shows, Spotlight/ Colorama Sale consignments, Top Ten does and many does and bucks that have done well for others. We have bred three National champions (two in the Lamancha breed and one in the Sable breed). We have bred one Alpine Reserve National Champion (Music) and exhibited GCH McCann Farm Fancy to Reserve National Champion. This year we made the difficult decision to disperse of our Sable herd, but have placed the animals in wonderful herds around the US. We now will focus on just breeding our first love Alpines. With that focus, our Alpines flourished at the 2026 ADGA National Show where we were named the Premier Exhibitor, Premier Breeder, and Premier Sire for our two-year old Kickapoo-Valley Holy Spirit.
In 2027, we will be freshening 24 Alpines. We do plan to utilize three first fresheners who will serve as RECIP does so no kids available from them. Cameron has acquired some of the Alpines and will be breeding these under the Kickapoo Valley herd name in Wisconsin. In 2027, we will ONLY accept reservations on buck kids. We may have a select group of does available in the spring, and will gladly add your name to the list if interested in purchasing one. We do reserve the right to decide to not offer an animal for sale if we choose to retain it for our herd. However, we do strive to find quality animals for those interested in purchasing Kickapoo Valley stock. Also, follow our Facebook page as we will communicate any doe kids we will have for sale.
We will not sell any animal that we do not feel meets our standards of excellence. Not every animal sold is going to become a permanent champion or produce permanent champions, but it should compete well as a mature animal. Furthermore, once an animal has been deemed sell-able and in good condition by both Kickapoo Valley and the buyer, it is the obligation of the buyer to assume responsibilities for the animal. We will not replace quality stock that is sold and deemed as not quality at a later time. All buck kids sold will be DNA typed at our expense.
For those purchasing young stock, all animals are raised on a CAE prevention program. We encourage those who purchase young stock from us to continue the practice of CAE prevention. We typically do our annual CAE testing in the spring and will ensure that any adult sold has a negative test upon taking it into his/her herd; however, WE WILL NOT REPLACE AN ANIMAL AFTER IT HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO ANOTHER HERD AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME AND LATER TESTS POSITIVE TO CAE.
A $100 deposit will hold a buck KID; we do reserve the right to keep any kid born despite the fact that we may be holding a deposit. All doe kids will be selected after birth and interested buyers will be contacted. Please reach out to Ed to be added to the doe list. All deposits are nonrefundable unless the animal of your choice is not born. Prices on animals are found at the end of an animal's description and do not include shipping and/or health certificate. Please check out the "For Sale" page to see current animals for sale. To look at the breeding list, please look under the "2027 Breeding List" above on this homepage.
