Goat Knoll Farm

Goat Knoll Farm Goat Knoll is our corner of paradise nestled in the hills just beyond a busy world. We sell goats, fiber, yarn and knitting kits.

Cashmere goats and Shetland sheep have roamed our hillsides for 30 years, eating brush and producing beautiful fiber.

A day I look forward to every year - the day the last of the does and their new kids rejoin the main herd. We (me and the goats) celebrated by letting them have access to the overgrown area which includes the driveway. Did I get any great photos of the event. Well....no....

The last couple years we've had a severe problem with rats around our poultry. We solved the chickens' infestation by moving the chickens and disbanding the old house and yard. For the turkeys, we've finally found a solution that works! We're reluctant to use poison due to collateral damage to other animals and wildlife . We've tried shooting them with pellet guns, offering a cornbread muffin mix/soda solution, those stupid buckets that they're supposed to fall in and drown and other non-poison solutions. None were very effective. The current system - set rat traps, baited with turkey food, inside a cage with small openings at the bottom for rats to enter and keep poultry out. We re-set the traps every evening and take up the poultry food, so rats only have one choice for a meal. It's been a week and we're getting 4 - 6 rats per day!

Just finished dyeing new yarn for the upcoming Scio Fat Lamb Fiber Festival this weekend. Now, to reskein it to neaten it up. Tedious, but necessary.

Nothing says spring on the farm quite like spending time in the sunshine with brand new babes and watching mom eat her afterbirth.

Our last little new lives this year: Maia and Gaia were born late this afternoon. I'm glad Daisy had girls as I already had names picked out. Like the lambs, no drama this year!

Our next show is in Scio at the Linn County Lamb and Wool Fair, May 16th and 17th. We will be part of the Northwest Cashmere Association booth. We are low on Shetland wool yarn inventory so I dug through my "reject" stash to see what might be improved to beef up our inventory.

Yesterday, I skirted my wool fleeces for this year. I was anxious to see what I had harvested even though not quite ready to wash them yet. Conclusion: they just look like dirty wool. I can tell staple length and fineness, but they'll need to be washed to see their final color.
