Some favorites from my Mille Silkie and Satin project pen! These were all bred by Sweet Fields Farm! The full patterns always draw my eye but there's some beautiful splits in here too. I was cautious at first to add silkie/satins to our farm because iv not heard great things about their hardiness. But, I have juveniles and young adults from 2 breeders who have proved me wrong! Eye candy is always something people strive for but I'm so thrilled to have started with birds from breeders who care about producing a hardy bird too. Not to mention, the BEST temperments!!

I am so excited for these little polish chicks!! The crests just get me! This one is a Tolbunt but we have Candy Corn as well =)

Happy Friday to all! And...it's HATCH DAY! Though I didn't expect them to hatch until later tonight, so far a Candy Corn Polish and Mille Satin have hatched! Also hatching some Swedish Flowers, Partridge Silkies, and Porcelain Satins.

I can't wait to start hatching from this breeding group!! These were bred by Feather Valley Farm. Gorgeous, hardy, and wonderful temperaments! What more could a person ask for! *mille bantam cochins*

Training whethers and an older ewe 👀🏠!! First 3 pictures are the whethers. These boys are coming 3 and were bottle babies. They are not in your pocket friendly but are tame enough. Iv used them for starting young dogs and they know their job well!! Would make a nice set for someone to train with! Lastly, is the black and white ewe, "holstein". Holstein is about 6 years old and has raised a nice set of twins for us every year. She made a bad choice this summer and flew out of a gate into my horses. She took a nasty kick to the jaw which fractured it. She was treated and it has heeled but she has a good size lump now on her right size as you can see. She has been exposed to our registered red paint ram but I can't guarentee that she's bred. She's alittle thinner than I'd like and I think would benefit from being in a smaller group of sheep where she's not competing for feed. She's been a VERY easy keeper and good producer for us but is showing her injury. I'd like these guys all off my feed bill so will be auction bound next weekend if no one is interested. Shoot me a message with any questions (💲)!!

Having a "lazy" Sunday morning and realized I never posted this! We are now NPIP! I'm somewhat (clearly not enough since I'm doing it) embarrassed to say the incubators are STILL running🙈. I'm excited for spring to hit so I can be back hatching full force.

The girls just having some fun!

Cinder will take pets from anyone she can get them from! Even 5 month old Chloe 💖

Oh Ice....she respects "that'll do" but this is her way of telling me she's not happy about it and she's ready to go right back to work!🤦‍♀️

Exciting chicken news today!!! We decided to work towards our NPIP certification so that we could ship eggs/chicks out of state and sell to other NPIP certified breeders! A couple weeks back we went through an audit/inspection of the farm which we passed. Then today, it was a family affair having every bird tested by a certified tester. Now that the testing and insection is done and passed, we will be given an NPIP number and will be all set to ship!!=D

Fabio here has recently discovered that he's a boy and he likes to strut around and make sure EVERYONE else knows too!🤣

It's been a while since I was able to spend a few hours in a weekend working dogs! Sako was my "assistant" as always. All the young guns got a go on sheep and calves! Roper has already been used a good bit for real work but it's nice to have a chance to put a bit more of a handle on him. Ice is coming along well now that I'm able to work her a bit harder since the toe has recovered. Cinder blew all my expectations this weekend. I thought I had her pegged one way and then there she goes, proving me wrong!

10/19/2024

Lots of snuggles with all the babies this rainy morning! I'm pretty sure Cinder is the sweetest, and most baby/toddler tolerant dog iv ever had=) she loves the kids.

RLR Cinder (Slash J Ash x 5H Sako)! Just starting to work with her=)

A short clip of working Ice! We are taking it easy but I'm excited to be out here working her=)

10/13/2024

I am having so much fun with this girl! It's slow going since she's still recovering from her toe injury but she's a blast!

10/03/2024

Ice is recovering from a toe sprain but I took her for a short spin tonight. It's been a bit since I worked her but she's just as I remember! This tiny little girl is a spit fire! She's a blast to work =)

Road trip! You know how everyone has that friend that talks them into mischief? Well mine are the worst because they talk me into animals!🙈 I went for 1 ram and came home with 3🤦‍♀️ But, it was the last chance to buy from her since she is selling out completely. With these 3 new additions though, my mature paint ram Loki Jr will be looking for a new group of ladies in about a month when we pull him from the ewes. He is pictured in a post below! We have a gorgeous set of retained ewe lambs from him from last year and will keep another set this year. The breeder ram lambs we had posted for sale are by him as well. He did a great job for us, so shoot me a message if your interested!

Here's a familiar face! Ice is back=) It's been several weeks of planning to get her across the country but shes finally here! It's been about a year since she left but she's fitting right back in. She apparently did forget the "no dogs on the bed" rule though 😅

Roper certainly knows and loves his job!

Short clip of Roper! Roper was getting a bit bored with "school" so I figured I'd throw him in the deep end and see what happened. Being the cowdog that he is, he has a fondness for heeling sheep even when he doesn't need to be doing so. He's gotten a few lectures about that! It was kinda funny seeing him be so careful and holding himself back when it came to getting those 3 whethers in the shed. He may not do things as "pretty" as the border collies do but he is a solid partner!

Short clip of the tail end of working Jewel! She did so well throughout the work that I figured I'd give her a few more sheep and see how she did=) yesterday she started off with a bit of adrenaline and "look how fast I can run" before settling into her role. Understandably, since this is all new too her. Not today though! She came right out and went to work without the REALLY FAST start she had yesterday! I am loving how fast she wants to work as a team with me and how well she has already found her groove, moving sheep.

Had to give Sako a spin too ;) my husband recently told me I needed to tune her up since she blew off a down while he was using her. It's been a few years since Sako has seen a trial field. She's just been doing work here at home and i havnt kept her "tuned up ". Seems I don't really need to! My training wethers, on the other hand, clearly needed a reminder that they can be driven as well as fetched! * excuse the thistles in my training pen!*

A small snippet from some training with Roper yesterday! Roper is a year old and has had very little actual training sessions. Iv mostly only worked with him "on the job". I'm really impressed with this boy!

I can't wait till I can actually get this boy going. The cows were up in the barn so I took the opportunity to give Roper a small exposure with a little job. Everytime iv done this with Roper he has impressed me💖
