So much change coming our way… a very large part of our herd/genetics will be heading to San Angelo this coming weekend. Im sad to see the end of an era but Im excited for my friend to start her new journey with these Nigerians and minis. Im also excited we found the right fit at the right time… my nerves were so bad thinking of what needed to happen and now knowing they are going to a friend who will love them as much as I have just eases all of that anxiety!
Next up after that we will post Alpines available. Im a collector… I have animals with top rate genetics that are frankly being wasted on me as my health has essentially put me on permanent retirement. I can go back to having a small hobby farm but all of my dreams for a big dairy are gone now. Im ok… Ive accepted what is…. I just need to find a soft landing for my girls… where they will be appreciated, loved, and used to their full potential. I will be willing to release more than planned if I find the right situation for them. Im looking for a milking home with preference given if you milk test. I will also help you start a milking herd if that’s what you are interested in… but I want to make sure these girls don’t end up at the auction or in the freezer because they deserve better than that. I will make deals for the right situation… but don’t make me promises you have no intention of keeping… Ive been doing this a long time now and I know everyone in the game or know people who do know them. I won’t tolerate being lied to. Im a good person and love helping others get started but I am not afraid to burn the world down if my girls need me to….lives change (case in point)… my expectation is that if something changes and you can no longer meet the terms of our agreement that you talk to me FIRST so we can come up with a plan TOGETHER… I am not unreasonable… just protective of the lives Im responsible for.
So if you think you might want to get into raising a dairy herd of Alpines, message me and lets talk it out… I will always have some alpines, but I don’t need as many as I currently have…. Lets just say I have the number I have and leave it there lol😆
We also have a few older lambs available… looking for a pet home for two neutered rams that are super sweet pets…
Once we get through all the goats/ we will begin downsizing poultry again… we have WAY too many chicken hens lol… these will make excellent layers for someone needing eggs:)
And if all of that isn’t enticing enough, we have calves coming sometime around the end of the year…The neighbors bull jumped the fence and joined our herd Feb 1, 2026….. So basically anytime after Nov 10th we will be watching for calves… we do not sell bottle calves… what we will do if you want a steer for the freezer though is put you on a contract with payment plan so that when the steer reaches butcher age he is paid in full and ready to go to the butcher! We steer calves between 1-3 days old. They will be raised on mom, calf feed/creep, a good mineral, grass, and horse quality hay…
Once all of this years babies are born, we will be taking a year off… during that year we will reassess our goals and either cut more animals from our program, end our program, or purposely breed for the next season/year. Those are discussions still to be had…
