The Narrows Farm and Pet Cemetery

11/06/2024

Dayton veterinarian and founder of the Narrows Pet Cemetery, Dr. Raymond Aull, had a pet black squirrel, named Inglebore. Dr. Aull's son, Raymond Aull Jr., acquired Inglebore while traveling, likely for the USN Air Corps. Dr. Aull was known for taking Inglebore with him to events and his veterinary office. Inglebore liked to sit on Dr. Aull's shoulder and nap in his vest pocket.

Q: Are there snakes in the cemetery?
A: Yes. Snakes are found in natural environments like cemeteries due to the greenery and peaceful surroundings. They play a crucial role in controlling pests, so their presence is beneficial.

We do appreciate when visitors come help clean up overgrowth!

Look at these handsome guys! Even though it was over 90 degrees today, that didn't stop the studs from their daily cuddle session!
(Note: Pierre is not included in these sessions since cuddling is a hard no for him 🤣)

-The Sheep at Narrows Farm

We are working on growing a flock that is calm and friendly with people. We have narrowed down the traits we want in our sheep to fit our needs and benefit the cemetery once more fencing is done. We hope to have sweet and calm sheep for visitors to enjoy!

We are so lucky to have Latte the alpaca. This is not the first time she has seemingly herded the sheep into a group when she sees a coyote. Coincidence or intentional 🤔

Sweet llama Eddie Rose has grown up alongside pushy ewes and lambs and takes it all in stride. He will literally lets them walk all over him 🤣

Tonight was bittersweet. We sent Mocha off to her new home in Indiana! She is going to a farm that has many other llamas and who handle their llamas much more than we do. We are sad she didn't work out on our farm but are very excited to see her thrive in her new home!

Our sweet llama, Georgia, is the embodiment of what we love to see in our llamas. The sheep always seek her out when looking for a place to rest. She is patient with, and tolerant of the lambs, and always willing to let them snuggle (even in a heat wave!). She was bred to our handsome stud, Trenton, this past April. We are hoping she will bless us with a cria of her disposition next sping! 🙏 🦙

Good afternoon everyone! We have made the difficult decision to send our female guard llama, "Mocha", to new pastures. She is unable to stay in the pasture with our female sheep flock because she tries to trample the little brown colored sheep (and she has always chased any sheep but hasn't been this intense about trampling before!). Her guarding and alerting ability is amazing and it is sad to have to let her go! We are hoping to find her a farm where she can be with other llamas, alpacas, or other large stock. If anyone knows of a farm that could use her abilities, please feel free to share this post! ❤️

Who knew lambs love laying next to stones? When we fenced this section, we didn't think there were gravestones in this part. After we put the sheep and llamas in and they cleared overgrowth, we discovered a few stones! Here are Zoey's lambs laying next to:

The last lambs of the year were born late last night. Zoey graced us with triplets again this year, a ewe lamb and two ram lambs. Unfortunately, the last ram lamb was in a very bad position and she had been trying to get him out for a while. I went in and helped her, got him repositioned so he could actually come out, but when he did there was no heartbeat. We are sad to lose even one small lamb. Every life means something. But Zoey is absolutely in love with her two surviving babies, Popcorn (girl) and Raisin (boy)! She is the best mother and will be nursing them with just one half of her udder after a very bad mastitis case last year post weaning. She is a VERY heavy milker (which contributed to her mastitis infection) but I will be weighing the babies daily to make sure they are getting enough milk from her. Welcome to the world little ones ❤️
