Meet our cows

We have mostly crossbred cattle. We are working on a breeding program. Let us know if you see something you are interested in .

Goats

Nigerian Dwarf Goats

These guys are adorable but boy are they busy. These two are super spoiled. We are considering getting a third one. We are planning on milking next year.

Coka

Coca is our male. He was not bottle raised but he is learning to be very frirendly.

Tinkerbell

Tinkerbell was raised on a bottle here from 1 week old. She has no idea she is a goat. She actually thinks she is a human.

Stormy

Stormy Was born on our farm on a stormy night (surprise) in 2002. He has been here most of his life. He spent a short time at a friends. He is quarter pony. He was a stallion for his first 8 years. he will never leave us and we are hopeful he will be a great lesson horse.

Pumpkin

Pumpkin is new here. She came here from a kill pen. DJ named her. She seems to be more comfortable here and turning out to be very good with the kids.

Wrangler

We bought Wrangler at an auction when he was a 4 year old. He is the best horse for small kids, as you can see. His biggest downfall is he ca be a bit lazy.

Eleanor

Eleanor is a work in progress. She came with Pumpkin from the kill pen. Eleanor is a mustang and was with about a dozen others panicked mustangs in the pen. She is slowly beginning to trust us, She doesn't have a mean bone in her body just very traumatized.

Peppy

Peppy was also born here, Stormy is her sire. Peppy's dam is a mustang. She has the sweetest temperament but so strong willed. Peppy is a small sturdy horse, built like a small quarter horse.

Horses

I know it's not the norm but we aren't concerned with pedigree on the farm. We are concerned with demeaner and have rescued several horses.

Most of our horses come here and stay, those that leave do so with a buy back contract. We love our animals like family and follow them after they leave.

Everything Else

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's souls remains unawakened." Anatole France

Strawberry Patch

We planted a dozen strawberry plants this year. We just picked our first ripe strawberry. It was the juiciest sweetest strawberry I have ever eaten. I can't wait for it to be a full strawberry patch.

Gardens

We are all learning about gardening, Grandma Lorus, Cassie, and me. We have a small raised bed with tomatos, peppers, onions, and green beans. A small ground bed with melons (cantaloupe and watermelon).

Chickens and Guineas and Ducks

We have a menagerie have chickens. We have chosen chickens for their laying abilities. Typically I choose my chicks by breed but this last order we just got a laying assortment and have no idea what they are other than pretty. Starlord, our new rooster, was in that laying assortment, LOL. Our ducks were the last ones left and 1/2 price because they were getting feathers. The guineas were also the last ones, we hope they make it on the homestead, they are great to get rid of ticks.

The Barn Kitty

We only have one kitty but we are hoping for more to keep the rodents down in the barns. We had a pair but life on the homestead is tough.
