Su éxito ante congregaciones en crisis, nuevos movimientos en recesión (entre otros, el Opus), conventos y monasterios en venta, o prelados que ven, desconsolados, sin saber qué hacer, cómo se les vacían las iglesias y los seminarios, y se quedan sin pastores, se define en cifras, siempre aproximadas, pues Kiko ni concede entrevistas, ni se distingue por hablar de sí mismo o de su fundación: Con datos de hace cinco años, tiene un millón largo de fieles en 105 países, varios obispos, 17.000 comunidades y 4.900 parroquias. También cuenta con 52 seminarios y algunas universidades. En España, la San Antonio de Murcia. No se lleva ser monje The icon is never looked at, and its top half remains hidden behind a protective covering as it is said that whoever looks at it will be blinded. The last person to have seen the icon is the Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria Gerasimos, in 1669. The icon is rarely uncovered, although this happens on occasion. In recent years there had been a drought affecting Cyprus, in response to which the fathers took the icon to her throne, and read special supplications for rain, whilst looking away from the uncovered icon. [8] Other relics [ edit ] 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.

Es en aquel Madrid sombrío donde el fundador basa un discurso apocalíptico del mundo y del hombre, que nunca ha abandonado. "Matan a los ancianos con eutanasias y hay homosexuales por todas partes, los jóvenes se suicidan, hay 300 millones de abortos en China y los padres tienen dos hijos, cuando por la paternidad responsable que dicen los curas debería tener 11 o 12, los que Dios mande", clama. 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 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. Wow, that’s interesting. And, it’s definitely interesting because of the fact that, like, a first freshener isn’t going to make as much milk as a doe that’s, like, in her prime. Or, a goat that’s, like, 9 or 10 years old is not gonna make as much milk as a doe that’s in her prime. So, that is also interesting information to have. It’s also fascinating. I love it. Is there anything else that you have in terms of data on your goats?We’ve talked about it, but we haven’t gone that direction yet. The restaurant market is challenging, because they prefer certain cuts, and they have to have a high volume of that cut. And, as we know, a goat only produces so much of that cut, and then what happens to the rest of the goat? And, we had a local restaurant that wanted goat legs. And that’s wonderful. They make a fantastic curry, the bone-in, and that’s one of our favorite restaurants, one of our favorite meals. However, we can’t just sell goat legs without having a buyer for the rest of the goat. So, restaurants are a different market, and it’ll take a little bit more finesse on our part to have everything lined up so the whole goat is used. Gunnis, R (1936) 'Historic Cyprus: A Guide to its Towns & Villages Monasteries & Castles' (Nicosia, K Rustem & Bro), p.305 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? Así, en la ceremonia de Roma, mientras la multitud esperaba la llegada de Francisco, Kiko Argüello calentó el ambiente como un telonero de lujo: cantó, tocó la guitarra, hizo una larguísima "predicación del kerigma" (así dijo, y también: "El Espíritu Santo es el esperma de Dios", "el embrión necesita el útero de la comunidad", "tenemos más de 1.600 familias en misión"). Si calló, lo hizo cuando ya estaba encima el papamóvil con un Pontífice que parecía levitar ante tanta papolatría, mientras Kiko, quién si no él, le cantaba nuevas piezas compuestas por él, y ronco perdido gritaba "vivas" al Papa, que coreaban regocijados todos los presentes.

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. 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. La relación entre el cura y la víctima se prolongó después de que Antonio Lax Zapata fuese enviado por el Obispado a su nuevo destino. Los presuntos abusos se habrían prolongado durante varios años a caballo entre las localidades de San Pedro del Pinatar y Yecla porque el párroco, aprovechando esa relación de amistad y su labor pastoral, seguía llamando por teléfono al chico para quedar presuntamente con él.We’ve been raising Kikos for only about eight years, actually. They’ve been in the country since the ’90s. So, we aren’t one of the first to have Kiko. Dr. Ann Peschel is actually the first. But, we’ve raised a number of different breeds, and Kiko kind of came to us by accident. We started with goats in 4-H and did dairy breeds, and then decided, as the kids grew older and more interested in dairying, that it would be easier to switch to a meat goat herd. And, we went commercial with a hodgepodge of goats, and within that hodgepodge, we had a few Kiko does. And, it didn’t take long before the performance of those Kikos just dominated the herd, and it was clear that, if we needed a low-maintenance herd—because we both have jobs outside of the ranch—Kiko was the breed that would work for us. And so, we switched over; we sold our entire commercial herd, with the exception of a couple of the Kiko, and went to an all-Kiko herd. Wow, that is so cool. I knew they were a fascinating goat. There’s a breeder fairly close to us, a vet, who raises Kikos, who’s been raising them for probably 15 years or longer. And, I know she’s got very strict culling standards and everything, because she’s very much into all the things you’ve talked about. But, it’s just really wonderful to get your perspective on all of this. Is there anything else that people should know about Kikos before taking the plunge and getting some? 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. Wow, that’s interesting! I have not heard of other breeds having quintuplets other than Nigerians. So, it’s really interesting to hear that your Kikos have done that, too. We’ve had eight sets of quintuplets; they are not my favorite. In 1974, whilst Archbishop Makarios was under pursuit by the military junta, he headed for refuge here. As a result, the building was hit by tank fire and part of it collapsed. [10] When he died subsequently, he was buried on the grounds.

There’s a lot of different ways you can look at weaning weights, too. And, it’s always important to ask the breeder how they’re gathering those weaning weights, because there is an actual weaning weight—which is the day that you wean. Whether it’s 83 days or 90 days, this is how much they weigh and to know how old they were. There’s a calculated weaning weight. That’s what we use, where we have a whole group of animals that come through the scale on one day. And, they’re not comparable, because some are 80 days old, some are 94 days old. And so, we do what’s called a “calculated” weaning weight, where we take their age and their weight, and we divide it to get the average daily gain, and then we calculate to 90 days, so you can compare the whole kid crop at 90 days. The other weaning weight that you can see is called an “adjusted” weaning weight. And, an adjusted weaning weight is fascinating, but we don’t use it. It actually takes into consideration the age of the dam, and it gives a deduction based on the age of the dam. It takes into consideration the litter size that the kid is raised in. It also takes into consideration the gender of the kid. And so, it’s adjusted based on all of those factors. So, it’s not an actual weight. Los frutos secos son alimentos muy nutritivos que pueden ser beneficiosos para la salud si se consumen con moderación. Los expertos recomiendan comer alrededor de 20-25 gramos de frutos secos al día, lo que equivale a unas 4 o 5 unidades. Es importante no exceder esta cantidad, ya que los frutos secos son ricos en grasas y calorías y un consumo excesivo puede llevar a un aumento de peso y otros problemas de salud. We do both. We have a large ethnic population in our region that appreciates being able to come to the ranch, and see the herd, and see how they live, and know the source of their meat. We also have a buyer that just takes dozens at a time. And then, we also have tried having meat processed under a USDA label, so that we can sell individual cuts, and that gives people the opportunity to try goat if they’ve never had goat before without having to buy an entire goat to add to their freezer. So, I know you keep a lot of records on weight gain and stuff like that. So, let’s talk about weight gain.

In today’s episode we are talking to Karen Kopf of Kopf Canyon Ranch in Idaho about their experience raising dairy goats and then switching to meat goats and specifically Kiko goats. One of the reasons I wanted to interview Karen is because of the amazing records they keep on their herd, so we get into all of the details on the breed.
