Just one more thing.....

A short week over.....although in farming there are really no short weeks...or weekends....actually that is a lie...weekends mean MORE work!


Today I just have two notes...one...I am very excited that our new yarns will be arriving on Monday!  These yarns are processed from our own Alpacas and Goats.  As you know I do process some of the fibre right here on the farm but we also send some out.  I will have nature colour Alpaca yarn and a nice blend of Alpaca and Mohair in lovely colours!  I can't wait!  You will have to drop in next week to see!


And secondly "Baby Mick" needs to find a home.  Mick is  black registered Olde English Babydoll Southdown lamb.  Babydolls are smaller than most sheep growing to a height if 17-24 inches.  They are stocky and hardy but their miniature size makes them easier to handle!  They are great nature mowers, weeders and heck they will even fertilize and they go!
Now besides that Babydolls are sweet in nature and are great companion animals and you can use the wool!  So any of you knitters or spinners out their their wool is great to use alone or to blend!  We are asking $ 600.00 for Mick.  Please feel free to drop by and see him and his parents Inky and Liz. 


Don't forget the store is open Thursday thru Sunday 10-5 pm.  We take Visa and M/C and of course cash.


Drop by and see us this weekend or next week! 

Babies, Babies, Babies! Boys for Sale!

Jill/Omar babies born April 5, 2014

Good Day Everyone.  What a dreary rainy day, but we have new babies and that always casts "sunshine" on the farm.  Jill our Nigerian Dwarf gave birth to two babies a boy and a girl on Saturday.  Omar, our handsome black Angora is the father.

Male and Female "Nigoras"

Macy Angora

Mary and Macy

 Along with these cuties, Mary our Angora had a baby girl Macy.  Macy is pure white and is quite the contrast to these two!  Macy will be staying here on the farm.  There are also two bucklings, that are Nigerian/Pygora crosses and would make excellent companion animals!  Louis and Jerry are both friendly and are ready too go.  

Louie the cuddler

Jerry so handsome

 Last but not by any means least is our little man....Mick, a purebred registered Olde English Babydoll Southdown.  This black boy is quite the character already.  He is not really so little and is even bigger than Louie who he is trying to make friends with!  Mick is also for sale.

Olde English Babydoll Lamb for Sale

 Patrick February 2014

Hope everyone enjoyed their Family Day yesterday.  It was nice that the weather held out for all of us.  It was a nice day in Maynooth on Saturday as well!  Thanks to all of you that came out to say, "Hi!" I know you are happy with your purchases especially now that the snow has come back.

I am showing a few pictures today of over Babydoll sheep.  As mentioned before both Pearl and Liz have been bred and we are excepting lambs in the Spring.  We highly recommend reserving your lamb.  Our sheep are registered purebred Olde English "Babydoll" Southdowns.  They are miniature sheep.  Babydolls are gentle and quiet in nature, have a strong flocking instinct and are good on fences, neither jumping them or breaking them down. They are contend in small areas.  Babydolls have cute teddy bear faces and make great companions and pets and are ideal for weeding!

Both our girls Pearl and Liz have been bred.  We are expecting both white and or black lambs.  We have very good prices too!  

Pearl

The last picture is of Pearl, Patrick and Liz all enjoying some hay out side.  You can see our Nigerian goat, Jill behind them just to give you an idea of size.  If you would like to come out and see the "flock" please do!  Just give us a call before you do at 705-778-2070. And while you are here you can see the other animals if you like and shop in our store and don't forget to get your farm fresh eggs!
