Support Animals

Llamas Our llama herd provides protection for our calves from coyotes, wild dogs, and other threats to the cattle herd. Additionally, they are sheared each spring for fiber-wool (and to help keep them cool) and their communal dung piles are harvested for high-nitrogen, no-burn fertilizer. Colonel Potter Hawkeye Ginger & Kiki Rosie & Pixie Gini Margie Cattle Dogs Our cattle dogs are used to move cows from pasture to pasture, cut cows out during sorting, and round them up into crowding pens. Slash V Della Mae Slash V Blue Pearl Mae Guard Dogs The Great Pyrenees keep watch over the farm guarding it from intruders such as coyotes, bobcats, wild dogs, etc. Sasha Lexi Cats Cats on the farm are there to control the rodent population generated by the abundant sources of food and water from raising poultry.

Cattle

Other Cattle Annabelle Ellie Annabelle is our first milk cow; she is a Jersey(dairy)-Limousine(beef) cross. She produces great babies in addition to good milk. Ellie is our second milk cow; she is a Jersey(dairy)-Angus(beef) cross. She is Clara's cow.

Poultry

Egg Chickens We raise 4 breeds of "egg laying" chickens (meaning, they are bred for and produce more eggs than "meat" chickens). These 4 different breeds produce our colorful baskets/cartons of eggs, as each breed lays a different color of egg. Turkey Red Bourbons, Royal Palms, and Grey Slates are all considered to be "heritage turkey" and trace their lineage back to the original domesticated turkeys. Cross-breeding them actually produces the "wild" color of turkey. Our turkey can still free range, fly, and act like regular turkeys (your store bought turkey live their entire life in a building and can not survive outside)
