Meet Billy Goat (BOGO for short). When I picked up Lucy, his mama, they told me “fun fact…she *might* be pregnant”. Nearly 5 months later, can confirm, we bought 1 and got 1 for free. 😂 Mama and baby are doing well, and even tho she hates us, she lets us touch him, so I’ll call that a win!

02/05/2022

Remember how Lucy “might” have been pregnant when we got her. About 2 weeks ago I started to suspect she was, and I knew she’d deliver during the winter storm (yes, in TX 2 days of ice/snow counts as a storm). So far one baby!

Rehomed!

This beautiful Sebastopol gander is still looking for some ladies of his own. He’s white, but a color carrier (parents were lavender and blue saddleback). Smooth breasted, so if you’re having issues with feather quality, he’d be a great addition to your breeding program.

Everybody is trying out the new hay feeder. 😂

10/05/2021

This is the face of regret. 😂😂😂 Shaun made it out safely, tho I can’t say the same for the chair.
Video in comments…

Made some huts out of ibc totes for the hoofers today…so far, both boys seem to enjoy them! Lucy is being a little picky and hasn’t investigated yet. These will either get clad in pallet wood, or have a trim box made to give them a more finished look.

09/30/2021

Sorry for the voice, but I’ve been reading about not touching ram lambs on the tops of their heads because it encourages them to push, a precursor to ramming. Shaun doesn’t agree, and would like to continue to receive head pets.

09/28/2021

Lucy modeling her latest look…feathers from .

09/26/2021

In case you were wondering, Shaun has really come around these last 5 weeks. Researching how to get him tutored so he stays sweet with me. 🤞🏻

09/24/2021

Is there anything better than a fresh pool? 🤣

09/23/2021

Today we added Dirk the GOAT to the farm…Shaun is very interested in becoming friends (until he notices the camera), and Lucy isn’t so sure she’s ready to play yet (video in comments, lol). We got Dirk as a companion for Lucy, because unfortunately, we lost Bertie last week. 💔 I think our sheep/goat herd is complete for now, at least until we know if Lucy is going to be a mom. Stay tuned!

09/15/2021

So what had happened was…if you give a farmher a sheep (or she buys herself one), she’ll want that sheep to have a friend. So she’ll find a cute little black goat (meet Bertie), and bring that goat home to be friends with Shaun the Sheep. They’ll get along GREAT. So great, in fact, that they’ll have to be separated until Bertie is old enough for those kind of shenanigans. Then Bertie will be sad and lonely, and need a friend, so the farmher will get a SECOND goat…meet Lucy (bigger goat in pic 2). Lucy is Bertie’s real life sister, and now they’re BFFs on my farm. Oh, and just for sh*ts and giggles, there’s a non-zero chance that Lucy is in a family way, so in the end, one sheep MAY be one sheep and 3+ goats. 😬

08/24/2021

It finally happened!! Black Sheep Farm has a black sheep now!! Meet Shaun the Sheep!! He’s still a little unsure of us and getting settled in, but he’s so adorable and will be a great organic lawnmower!! 🖤

Breed spotlight: English Orpington
Not to be confused with the American Orpington sold at your local feed store (and not spelled orphington), these beauties are large and in charge! So much fluff you can’t see their legs...these birds were intended to be dual purpose, but soon became show birds and will be the eye candy of the chicken yard!

Hatching eggs are available now! Local pickup in Ovilla TX only.

The speckles on that pink egg! 😍

First family photos! Turns out, Mia was only on 11 eggs...6 have hatched, 2 are now in the incubator, and 3 weren’t developed. Not bad for a breed that’s said to have poor fertility!

04/11/2021

Mia has 5 goslings so far, and I was able to see her nibble at the shell of an egg that has pipped. I had no idea that mama sometimes helped the baby out!

04/10/2021

We have goslings!! Two so far (she’s on a nest of 12)!! 🖤
