SHETLAND SHEEP:

With high prices of hay, we decided not to breed the girls for the fall 2007 season.  Then they broke into the chicken food and 4 were dead before we realized how much they had consumed.

ANGORA RABBITS:

Our oldest son is raising German and French angora rabbits.  He has a few bunnies available.  E-mail Ian with questions regarding his ISeeSpots bunnies.

BUFF ORPINGTON CHICKENS:

We now have a flock of Buff Orpington chickens hatched during the fall of 2006 and summer 2007.  This breed was selected because of their calm nature, good setting trait of the hens, and numerous reports of roosters that were "non-attack" in personality.  We started selecting eggs that were darker brown for incubation in January and February 2008.

AMERICAN BUFF GEESE:

This rare American-developed goose has been desired for several years.  This spring, Mary Ellen finally broke down and snuck 8 goslings in as she was headed out of town to a fiber show.  With only one fatality (male gosling that didn't seem to understand he couldn't stick his head out in the dog's mouth on a repeated basis without shortening his lifespan), they are growing into a nice gaggle of geese.  With the very kind addition of a pair from Wes Givens in OH over Memorial Day, we feel our first summer with these geese is a success.  A few eggs are being incubated in March 2008 for late month hatching.

ANGORA and CASHMERE GOATS:

Long teased about our "goats" that were really sheep, we now have 5 goats.  These are here for a two-fold purpose:  fiber production and in the rescue livestock protection testing program.
