PET/WOOLER quality
giant angora DOE

This girl was the tiniest of her litter of 14 born February 2025, so naturally I grew very attached. But I must be realistic. I can’t keep them all!

So she is being offered for quite a low amount
She has beautiful wool and will make a great spinning companion, but she does not meet breed weight standard. She is on the smaller side.

For more details PM me

Our livestock guardian team grew this week!
We’ve welcomed two 6 month old female Kangals to work alongside our male LGD Mr. B which brings us to three livestock guardian dogs in training and we are thrilled.

Kangals are an ancient livestock guardian breed from Turkey prized for their intense loyalty, calm confidence with livestock and unmatched dedication to protection. They are not herding dogs, Their job is to live full time with the animals and deter predators through presence and commitment to territory.

Livestock guardian dogs also tend to perform best in opposite gender pairings! Mixed teams typically show less conflict, stronger cooperation and more stable long term working behavior which is exactly what we aim for as this team matures.

These girls come from registered Kangal bloodlines and joined our farm through a true homestead style barter! Quail and a quail cage traded for long term protection. This is the best way to do it!

We are excited to watch these three grow and settle into their roles

THIS! We don’t cut corners on small farms

“Your milk costs HOW much?!” 🥛

Let me preface this by saying:
👉 This is an average breakdown. Not everyone has the same setup, land, cows, or expenses.

Here’s what it looks like for one good dairy cow:

• A good dairy cow nowadays: $4,500
• Milking machine: $2,000

Monthly costs per cow:
• Feed: $150
• Hay: $80
• Cleaning & sanitation supplies: $100
• Minerals: $30
• Milk testing: $100

➡️ Monthly operating cost: $460 per cow

Now let’s talk milk.

A cow averages 4 gallons per day
4 gallons × 30 days = 120 gallons per month

$460 ÷ 120 gallons = ~$3.83 per gallon

But wait — that’s just the milk.

Packaging costs per gallon:
• Half-gallon glass jars: $2 each × 2 = $4.00
• Lids: $0.62 each × 2 = $1.24

➡️ Packaging total per gallon: $5.24

$3.83 (milk) + $5.24 (jars & lids) = $9.07 per gallon

And that’s BEFORE:
• Labor
• Electricity
• Water
• Equipment maintenance
• Vet bills
• Breeding costs
• Time (every. single. day.)

So when someone asks why farm-fresh milk costs more than the grocery store…
this is why.

You’re not paying for milk.
You’re paying for animal care, safety, infrastructure, and consistency.

And no — this still doesn’t pay the farmer a wage.

Today we dried off ginger in preparation for calving sometime early to mid March.

A bit early but we are so busy prepping for being out of town, then a farm sitter will watch the week of being out of town.

It didn’t make sense to burden our friends with the task, only for us to have about 10 days of milking when we get back to just dry her off then. It seemed selfish.

But the good news is, nova is still producing and the calves are just about to be weaning age! So we will still have lots of yummy milk!

Today we also pulled 100+ quail chicks from the incubator. This is the last hatch of the year! But we set 700+ eggs to jump start our busy season
