Kunekune babies are doing great. Rose is a fantastic first time mom - always aware of where the babies are before she tries to lay down.

January is always such a busy month on the farm, as it is the start of lambing season. Often when people visit this time of year, they are shocked to see diaper-clad lambs frolicking through the house. At this point it just seems normal to us.

Sheep vs. Goats

You will hear something different from everyone you ask, but here’s what we’ve experienced.

Sheep:
parasite resistant
Stay in their fence
Grow great on much cheaper feed
Few health problems
Birth unassisted
Babies do not require heat lamps (born wearing
sweaters)
Good moms
More meat for your money
Overall just easy keepers

Goats:
Always looking for new ways to kill themselves
Get out of the best fences
Highly susceptible to parasites
Require high quality (expensive) feed
Many health problems
Require constant monitoring
Not great moms
Babies require heat lamps for winter birthing
Not a lot of meat for the amount of money spent
Just like to die for no apparent reason
