Any koi breeder will tell you that the most exciting and rewarding aspect of our job is Harvest Time!! After many long months of preparing the mud ponds, breeding, culling, and feeding, we finally get to see the results of our hard work.

Today we harvested the third of nine nisai ponds. Attached are a few pictures from the harvest. These 200+ koi went into the mud pond at 5-6” on August 3; today they measured 9.5-13”. These were the smallest and the last to enter our nisai mud ponds, once space became available. The largest entered at 14” in May.
