Willow Ridge Farm

Willow Ridge Farm is a small hobby farm in Anderson County KY raising ADGA Boer Goats ADCA Dexter Cattle, Polish Bantams Chickens, and Teddy Guinea Pigs.

We love farm life and are blessed to have 21 acres of beautiful farmland to raise our children, animals and gardens. In addition to the goats, cows and rabbits, we also have
pet alpacas (three fiber boys), a gentle giant Percheron gelding and his tiny herd of three minis, Hook, an English Shephard herding dog, two new livestock guardian dogs,
Winter - the Great Pyrenees, and Pacierz, or Pasha as

we call her, the Polish Tatra Sheepdog (Owczarek Podhalanski). We also have two longhaired Dachshunds, Graff
and his daughter, Mischief. Indoors we have also have Twitch the cat and from time to time, baby squirrels that are in rehab as part of volunteer work for Central KY Wildlife
Rehab, and also various farm animals in various stages of infancy who may need bottle feeding. We are the country Swiss Family Robinson. We have a variety of out door
cats who have their own heated and airconditioned building and are for the most part, fosters or adoptees of the Anderson Humane Society. We are active volunteers for
both domestic pet rescue through our friends at the Anderson Humane Society and also for wildlife rehabbing (namely squirrels) through the wonderful network of Wildlife
rehabbers introduced to us through Central KY Wildlife Rehabilitation. Also thanks to the help and involvement of our friend, James, we have two bee hives that produce the
very best honey around.

Winter in action!

Slow motion Great Pyrenees in action! This is Winter defending the chickens. Must turn in the sound to appreciate the slow motion bark!

Working dogs at rest.

Another Prince update. He’s getting better at staying further away from the sheep and pretty good at stop and sit on command. He is getting closer to coming home!

Another progress report on Prince. His skills are improving. We are two months into the training process and his herding style is becoming more relaxed and his excitability level is coming down. He will now sit on command a comfortable distance from the sheep and he will also confidently buy. It aggressively confront stragglers to send them back to the flock. This video from today. Apologies for the graininess but it’s hard for his trainer to take video and coach him at the same time.

Visited Prince today. He keeps improving and learning new things. Penning today. I didn’t capture the complete end result because the wind was freezing my fingers but he went on to get the strays and steadily eyeball them and back them in the pen. He’s still very energetic and need to work on toning down the enthusiasm a bit but he’s doing great for a young boy.

Th LGDs, Winter and Frost usually are working and serious about their job but they still occasionally make time for some fun. They are magnificent beasts!

One week into English Shepherd, Prince’s training. Sherry Moss is doing a great job with him! We went for a little visit tonight. We have been missing him.

English Shepherd, Prince, on one of his maiden herding runs with cheviot sheep! Since his trainer did not have a helper, it was pretty hard to get a good video and still help Prince (and he needs help for sure as a rookie!) but still I couldn’t help post the video. Such a good boy!
