Raising animals is a joy for the whole family, - and we get to delivery that joy to new families every time a puppy goes home.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our time with Rae's litter this year: the cuteness, the sleepless nights, the potty training and playtimes, watching the puppies learn and grow and interact with momma and each other and us humans...

It was a joy to steward them until they found their families.

Thank you for trusting us 🫶🏼🐾

Taking a brief pause from the super cute puppy updates to show you another aspect of

We butchered a couple sheep this holiday season 🐑🐏

There are a couple reasons we choose to butcher and not sell sheep (we will have lambs to sell in the spring!):

1. We eat meat. Pretty self-explanatory, but our family finds value in eating the fruit (and meat) of our labors. We input time, energy, resources and love into our animals - and occasionally we need to eat... 😄

2. These were under-producing sheep from our flock and we do not want to reproduce their genetics. The ram was not a great ram - he was small, his offspring were small and weak, we gave him a chance and he proved he wasn't a high quality ram. So, he had to go. The female which we culled had an issue with parasites, and we did not want that negative trait in our flock. In short: their genetics were poor and we do not want to add poor genetics into such a robust line of sheep.

All in all it was a bittersweet experience for our family. We do love our animals. Our ram was a bottle-fed lamb and incredibly sweet. He loved to be scratched behind his ears.

However, we are pursuing a sustainable and high-functioning family farm. This requires us to make tough decisions that will serve us in the long run.

An added bonus: Judah was able to assist in the butchering process!! He hopes to continue learning this valuable skill in order to serve in the future...
