We’d like to introduce the latest addition to the flock- Rogue! He’s an early December ram lamb, and should be ready to do his job this fall. We’re excited to see what his lambs look like!

A huge thank you to BoPeep Sheep in Oregon for allowing us to bring him to California!! Check out their page for some great pics of Rogue’s sire, Eeyore.

The lambs discovered they can squeeze out of their pasture! They decided to investigate the wood pile.

We’re making appointments for the weekend now. Message us to come reserve yours.

The lambs don’t mind the snow at all!

We got a bit behind on announcing lamb arrivals. We have 8 available, with just one more ewe left to go. Birth weights were big this year - 9 to almost 15 pounds! 3 ram/wethers and 5 ewes currently available.
Make your choice early!

Ted E Bear went crazy barking up the back hill just before dark tonight. With 8 lambs in the pasture, we took it seriously and ran outside to back him up.
Thankfully Ted E was able to protect all of us from this frightening intruder! We neutralized it in the house.

The lambs keep coming and it seems to be the year of the ewes! We haven’t gotten weights on these little ladies yet because we’re letting first time ewe mom Cream Puff have a bit of time to recover and bond. They’re minutes old in this pic and everyone is fine so far.

Lambing season has started! Silver kicked off the year with two ewe lambs, both in the 9 lb range. Then her daughter, Virginia had a 14.5 lb ram and a 9.7 lb ewe lamb, no assistance needed. We went out to the barn to find them standing, mostly dry, and yelling for mom. They’re all in the lamb jug now for some bonding time.

If you give a pig a pumpkin…
She’ll walk right into the farrowing pen!
First timers tend to be a little suspicious of the new digs, but Miss Aghi was too busy following the pumpkin trail to care! Now for a nap!
