The 2023 Mountain Premier Invitational is proud to be sponsored by the largest Kiko Goat registry in the country. All goats offered at the MPI are NKR registered. As hosts of the MPI, we work to offer a venue for Kiko producers around the North Eastern region to view and purchase Kiko Goat and Kiko Goat genetics which have shown themselves to be of high quality. We appreciate both our primary sponsors supporting the sale.
The Mountain Premier Invitational Sale and Conference 2023
The Mountain Premier Invitational Kiko Conference and Sale (The MPI) sees two of the best recognized and well established Kiko Goat Seed-stock producers join together to present an educational event and highest quality Kiko Goat sale on May 27th, 2023.
The event will be held at 160 Jackson Mill Rd, Jane Lew, WV 26378 It is our intention to indeed produce a “Premier” event and offer the “premier”Kiko goats available from across the Kiko Seed-stock business at this time. The East Coast needs a top quality Kiko Goat event and this event really delivered such an event to satisfy that that demand over the past few years. Conveniently located within driving distance of the Appalachians, the Tennessee Valley, the majority of the East Coast and the Mid-West, the event promises to be well attended and a large success again in 2023.
The event is again to be held in West Virginia where one of the two event hosts resides. M.R. Goats is based close to Morgantown in West Virginia. Mike and Lorie Renick have produced many high quality goats which have been tested extensively at the various central performance tests across the country. The other host of the MPI Conference and Sale is Triple M Kikos of Indiana. Christian and Ron McGill produce high quality Kiko Goats and have also experienced great success with the Kikos bred from their breeding program. Between the two programs of the hosts, close to 100 bucks have been part of central performance tests and their goat related research projects across the country. These tests include the very tough and infamous Western Maryland Forage-Only and later Forage-Based Test, the Pennsylvania Meat Goat Test, the WV Ram and Buck Test – now the WV Buck Test and the Oklahoma Meat Goat Test. The two programs have also produced the High-Selling Buck or Doe at many of the sales they have consigned to over the past several years.
M.R. Goats and Triple M Kikos have again invited multiple high profile guest consignors to take part in the event and sale. The 2023 line-up includes new and exciting consignors which promise to add even more quality goats to the event. All these consignors will offer some of the best available Kiko Goats and Kiko genetics in the Kiko seed-stock production business at the moment. Goats consigned and offered for sale will adhere to the strict sale guidelines and their enforcement ensure that the quality offered will indeed be ”Premier‘.
The goats offered will be able to go to their new farms in the Spring where they can acclimatize well before breeding season and be producing kids at much less than a year later. The educational event will be open to all and will have presentations for those with beginning and established goat herds.

Host Farms of the MPI Kiko Sale are Focused on Quality.
In 2018 PJM Goats and M.R. Goats established the MPI and ran the sale through 2021. The breeding programs of both PJM Goats and MRG Goats have been testing bucks at buck tests with success through all the different types of tests. The two transformational herd sires of "Hemi" and "Copyright" proved to produce test kids with traits that allowed their progeny to prove successful in different types of central performance tests. In 2022, PJM Goats discontinued hosting the MPI and Triple M Goats and the McGills became the new co hosts and brought many years of goat breeding of highly desirable Kiko genetics experience to the leadership partnership of the MPI Sale.
