Louisa had triplets on May 11th, during the bitterly cold night, and they were premature. Two were born dead and tiny Alfalfa was a fighter. He had no teeth and his eyes were not fully developed, and he could barely walk and certainly could not nurse by himself. For over a week I would tie … Continue reading
I asked her how many llamas they had, and she said over 60, down from the 100 since they started giving them away. “I’ve got every kind of critter, but not near as many as my husband has tools, equipment, tractors…” I found that hard to believe, until we actually saw the place yesterday.

Ok, I could have called them happy, lazy, snobbish, standoffish fatsos, which they are, all except one. Him. You can consider him stand-on-ish, and exhausted. It’s hard to manage a harem.

We wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving, wherever you are. Thank you for making our lives richer. We have much to be thankful for, especially friends, two legged and four.
We love our Dorpers. Many of them are pure Dorper, which itself is a South African breed developed in the 30’s as a very hardy meat sheep which has hair instead of regular wool. The others have been crossed with other meat breeds such as Katahdin which makes them more colorful than just pure white or … Continue reading
Hi friends. I have an appointment with Kinikin processing in Montrose for December 2nd and still need to make room in the barn and sell some more of our biggest lambs. They are selling well, but unfortunately many of our mama lambs are having their babies now and I need room in the barn for … Continue reading
