The Little Herd

We are a small business located in CQ, with big plans for the future. For now we will be breeding & raising chickens & other small farm animals.

Watch this space while we begin to open our doors!

Welcome to the herd, piggies!
Meet Milo & Pancake.
Our new 6 month old pigs. 2 sisters, will be future breeders. They took no time in rooting their new pen around to fit their muddy aesthetic. They're already pretty hand tamed, but I'm keen to get them used to me & our routine on the farm. ❤️

Unfortunately, Nugget our Quamby pullet didn't make it. We had to make the tough decision to cull as her quality of life wasn't there. She had failure to thrive & after talking to her breeder we both agreed it was our kindest option. She was unable to process her food properly resulting in a very underweight & small chook. She felt nothing but love in her final days & was held in her final moments & for that I am grateful. Enjoy all the mealworms up there, little one. ❤️

Welcome to the herd, Ghost. Future livestock guardian dog. Already has beautiful instincts with the horses & chickens & can't wait to train her into her job.

Dougie is settling in so well. We are so happy with him. He's now been here over a week & I don't think we could go back to being a 1 horse household 🤣
Last week we also saved a little baby quail from becoming lunch, so I guess we own a quail now.

Well - this was unexpected (in the best way possible). I was heavily wanting to get into something different, smaller even!
But we picked up on our mares changes, how desperate she is for companionship. And if owning animals has taught me anything, is that you CONSTANTLY have to adjust. Even if you wanted to do a certain thing a certain way, they'll show you exactly how & when it needs to happen.
So welcome to the herd, Dougie!
He is a beautiful 19yo boy who may be with us short or long term, who knows yet!
We're excited to begin a new chapter & see how Cherry progresses being with friends of the same species. They will be joined in the same paddock soon, so stay tuned for some photos. For right now we're just gaining his trust & letting him settle in.

Hey all!
Some of our planned additions got put on hold for a hot minute as *someone* decided it was a good idea to run full steam out of our property & sustained some nice injuries & a decent vet bill to boot.
I won't add anything gnarly to the post, just enjoy some photos of serenity until hopefully our next post with better news. 🤣
Stay tuned for what's coming! 🤞

Things have been pretty busy here at The Little Herd!
The move over was relatively okay, the bond clean almost killed us with this heat!
We now have a couple pullets on the farm & looking at some laying hens in the coming days. After that we will be very keen to venture into some new territory!

Hope everyone is managing to stay cool during these heatwaves.

Our biggest member at The Little Herd.
It's been a learning curve for us both but she is looking much healthier than when she started with us.
Now on 40 acres, she's become even more inquisitive & loving.
Exceptionally proud of how well she's adapted to everything thrown at her. ❤️

Currently getting a website up & running. Our messenger will always be a 2nd POC.

Long term we aim to have the facility to house farm animals that find themselves with no home, dumped on the road, in shelters, or would otherwise be sent to doggers.
Until we have said facilities we will be breeding & raising our own farm animals for sale & once we have permits we will be able to take in a small number of farm animals in need which we would then rehab & rehome.
Appreciate all the support & we are so excited to begin this journey! ❤️
