Oh my beautiful ebony Mab. We lost this old girl today in a most goaty way: self-annihilation via fence necklace. She was 11 years old in April. She had 2 doe kids for me this year, and damn it, I sold them both.... facebook.com/335374989081/po…
We have 3 lovely yearling does and one February 2019 doe kid for sale. These young ladies are from excellent milking lines, and will make family or homestead milkers. 1 American Oberhasli, 1 oberhasli/alpine... facebook.com/335374989081/po…
We are selling 10 hens, mostly Amerucauna crosses but also some other mixes and a couple of buff orpingtons. Rooster Old Mr White stays as well as a couple of hens (we have 13). $15 each or $100 for all 10. Get in touch 🐔🐓🐔
Absynth has been toting around these two crickets and decided to set them down yesterday. Both does! Their daddy is OakMoon Farm WRH Opportunity Knocks, (aka Opie) sired by *B Walstone Reice Hatteras, French alpine. These should make nice little milkers.
We have some really nice kids for sale this spring, from does with udders like those pictured. Dams of these kids are great milkers from lines we have worked with for years. Multiple family members on site for... facebook.com/335374989081/po…

Just getting this out there. A couple of evenings ago, our boys Mac Dubh (7 month old English Shepherd) and Duggar (9 year old Cairn terrier) teamed up and attacked some does confined in the... facebook.com/permalink.php?s…

Lots of hats to wear at the farm. Yesterday, it was goat nurse hat. This girl ran into a corner in the fencing in the kid lane (now fixed) and did a rough number on her shoulder. With the help of the Farm... facebook.com/335374989081/po…
The release of the cave dwellers. Notice how few feet are touching the ground.
Unbelievable how big and fat these pups are. I've seen LGD pups this size, but not English Shepherd! Sun is 12 inches long, and not even 2 weeks old!
Moon, Sun, and Star are the litter names for Arya and Noble's little trio. We have lots of interest in these pups with the expected excellent farm dog and active family dog traits they should carry. If you have... facebook.com/335374989081/po…
The day of giants. Two-year-old first freshener Apple Too has barely---and with a lot of hauling---managed to have gargantuan baby here. I truly thought he was a goner from all the hard pulling it took, but dang... facebook.com/335374989081/po…
If you're going to have one, have a big'un. That's what Lullaby did this morning.

Ok workshop people, this has been quite a day of it. Besides Marilyn having her 2 does sunny side up as the rooster crowed, Cherise had an extra daddy on the side, and Razia went with smothered and scrambled as... facebook.com/335374989081/po…
Pupdate: Arya had a small litter, 3 beautiful pups! She had 2 females and 1 male. Pictures and details to come!
Since the rain has let up and we are supposed to have some warm weather, the "cave dwellers" are out in the kid lane. Jubilee is an honorary caprine and loved being out on the green more than the kids, though she took a little coaxing at the start.
A dog's gestation is 63-64 daus, but cn be as long as 68 days. It helps if the dog midwife can count.
Electra had her single girl first, followed by Olive's single girl about 5 minutes after. More photos soon!
