A Place To Grow Farm

We added Katahdins to the farm this summer and have been happy with their adaptation and weight gains and attitudes. We had purchased 2 pregnant red ewes from Happy Hills Genetics, they are beautiful. This morning we welcomed triplet ram lambs. The first sheep born on our farm. Mom and babies are doing great. We are beyond excited.

I wanted to give a big thank you to NEMO Air Drone Services. We had one of our dogs run off last night and didn't return. Nemo Air came out this morning and sent up his DJI Matrice 4T drone with thermal imaging. He found our dog Pickles in about 10 minutes. Unfortunately he had been hit by a car and passed away. We would have never found his remains in the tall weeds and brush without the thermal drone. It wasn't the results we wanted, but Nemo Air Drone Serices allowed us to get the closure that we would have never been able to get. If you ever need to find a lost animal or have a deer recovered, contact Nemo Air.

Papers needing a new farm.
We have an herd sire looking for a new ladies. Dionysus is out of our favorite doe Wingwood Farm TBL Ashura. He is 1.5 years old and was collected last fall with good motility noted. His genetics are on file with the ADGA. He is a very dairy buck. We have too many up and coming bucks to use him. Ready for the fall breeding. PM us for more information

Screwworm update: USDA has released nearly 800 million sterile flies since February trying to stop this parasite from re-establishing in Texas cattle, sheep, and goats — and they say they need 500 MILLION more every single week just to hold the line. If you raise livestock anywhere near the Gulf, this is worth 5 minutes of your time.

What questions do you have about screwworm prep on your farm?"
