Happy New Year from our Family to yours!

29/12/2023

Emu Egg #12 has hatched and is doing great on its 2nd day!

Super happy with the friendly temperaments with all of the babies we have hatched so far this year. Definitely all have had Dads personality :)

This little baby will be available to a home in 2 weeks as long as he is doing well!

We normally like to send them to a home with other emu their age as company, so if anyone out there has a singleton too, this baby will be looking for a family with friends! 💲2️⃣5️⃣0️⃣

His next siblings are due to hatch around the 23rd of January, and 2 more the 15th of February!

We have 3 eggs currently available, prefer local pick up due to the backlog at a lot of the USPS locations right now. (Can meet within an hour or so of Mt Pleasant, TX) 💲5️⃣0️⃣ per egg, unfortunately, we will not rehome a single egg unless going to home with other eggs to hatch out with.

Parents are standards, and on their 3rd breeding season.

Our first baby emu has hatched on the farm for the year!

Happy birthday #10 egg!

He is soposed to be sold already :)

One of the sweetest ones to hatch to date, which is exciting! This one had Dad's temperament for sure!

The Nagus is laying again, and I will be working on catching up with orders!

We have 6 more eggs in the incubator, fingers crossed 4 more hatch this week, then 2 to hatch in a few weeks out.

04/12/2023

For everyone waiting on emu eggs, it looks like the Nagus is on holiday 🤣. She seems to be in a break cycle!

Will send out notifications when she starts laying again!

Update: sold

Good morning!

Halter for sale (he doesnt have an ear tag) - includes 2 yr old Angus Bull looking for own herd.

Mt. Pleasant TX

I got him as a bottle baby from my neighbors as a project and he was soposed to be moved along in the summer of 2022, but the drought came and didn't do it.

Blue was raised with our horses and goats.

He is our only Bull, no other cows and it's time for him to move on. He tried mounting my Mustang last night, and I have a 22 yr old TB that I need to keep safe too. We just are not set up to keep him, and I should have castrated him as a baby.

He has always been very nice, and never an issue to be around.

I would like to not put him in the freezer if I can help it.

PM for more information please. Pictures are from this morning.

Breeding season has started for our wonderful pair of standard Emu!

We will have 🥚 available for shipping to be hatched, and I am looking at putting our first 4 in the incubator this weekend for babies being available around Christmas!

Please PM the page for any questions!

Emu breeding season has begun for 2023!!

Congratulations to Nagus and Dax!

16/09/2023

We welcomed home a new addition in August-

Red Solo Cup, a yearling grade quarter horse!

He was an unhandled baby going through the Bowie Livestock auction Last Call List, and I decided I needed something in a different color then bay 🤣.

I am hoping he may make a nice little working ranch horse, and can't wait to see how he looks when he is all grown up!

Dax Hat of the Day!

This is the last new one I have right now, but we are keeping our eyes open for more!

11/09/2023

As I sit in the vet hospital parking lot with one of our retired Military Working Dogs in emergency surgery...

Here is another Dax Hat of the Day!!

Enjoy your 2-3-4 legged friends!! Take the pictures, have fun, you never know what tomorrow might bring....

10/09/2023

So happy to share some NEW Dax the Hat wearing Emu photos this week!

09/09/2023

It's almost Emu breeding season!

We have several eggs already reserved, so if you would like to get on our waiting list, please send us a message!

I am may put a few in the incubator at the very beginning, then will look at a few more in January, so if yiu are wanting a baby Dinosaur of your own, please PM the page as well!!

Good luck to all the breeders out there! If another farm is intersted in a baby swap for new genetics, please reach out, I am looking at possibly adding a couple unrelated babies to get a 2nd breeding pair!

Our breeding pair is a set of Standards, 3 yrs old, and are going on their 3rd breeding season. Both are social, our male, Dax, is extremely friendly and good with people.

Our only baby hatched on
08MAR23, just as I was leaving for an event in Washington DC with my Military Working Dog handlers!

He was soposed to have been picked up by a family the day he hatched, but unfortunately, we have not heard from them again.

Baby "Mu" either had a difficult hatching (which was super fast) or perhaps had some deficiencies during the incubation cycle because he was a little splay leg right off the bat and had wry neck start after a few days.

I am happy to say that Mu has recovered from both quickly, and is eating and drinking like a little champ! Loves his kale, and his stuffed alligator :)

Mu will be looking for a new home after this weekend, once I am sure he has completely recovered.

Please PM the page if you think Mu may fit into your family! He would probably appreciate a family with other baby emus if possible.

We are located in MT Pleasant TX. We do not ship baby emus.

08/03/2023

Our first baby emu of the season arrived safe and strong this morning! (It is already spoken for)

26/02/2023

Possibly the last 4 eggs of the season from us this year are looking for an incubator!

And we have 4 coming one year old emus also looking for their new family. (3 related standards and one unrelated blond)

Please PM for more information :)

I had the chance to hug one of my guineas 🤣.

She had flown into an area that is patrolled by our house dogs, and had gotten pinned at thr fence. Luckily, my super cool Dutch Shepherd was a good girl and didn't cause any harm.

We have 3 guineas that will be 1 yr old in May. They were raised by me, and still absolutely won't let me hold them, but they are happy to follow me yelling.

22/01/2023

Egg #33 this morning!

They even tried to put dirt on it 🤣

I put 2 eggs in the incubator on the 18th, they would be due to hatch around the 8th of March. They will be available for new homes.

Emu eggs typically take around 48-52 days of incubation. They have been known to hatch up to 70 days.

We have 2 eggs currently available if you would like to incubate and hatch your own.

Please PM us for more information!

One of our newest personal rescues that came unexpectedly into our family in December- Grimm!

We lost our farm Matron, Bahraini Feral Dog Missy in November at the amazing age of 14.5.

We have found over the years of doing rescue, that animals tend to find when it's time.

Here is hoping for a long life of fun and health for Grimm!

One of the things that is very important to us here, is supporting a TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) program for cats.

Our great little farm came with a few family cats, but they all came with bonus 🐈 😳.

We started catching and spaying both the young females, and were lucky enough to find an amazing home for their last litters of kittens.

It took us almost 6 months but we were able to also catch the other female and had her tested for FELV/FIV, vaccinated and spayed.

Finally, after more then a year of him evading capture, we trapped the big male that I suspect is the father of a couple litters.

He has also been tested, vaccinated, and neutered.

We do not have a rodent problem in our kennels or in our feed room, and they are happy to come home every night and stay close.

For each cat that you can capture and spay or neuter, you reduce the number of unwanted cats that just have no place to go.

Please reach out to your local shelter for some possible spay/neuter programs to help with the cost.

And please, don't fall for the old wives tale that says intact cats or unfed cats are better hunters. This is absolutely not true. A little bit of kindness will go a very long way.

These are photos of our babies from last breeding season, they are about 6-9 months old.

Josh is the one wearing the super cute hat. (My cousin wanted one named after him, we hope it's a boy 🤣)

It's been very exciting to see babies growing up from our first breeding season.

Some of them may be available next year, once we know genders.

25/12/2022

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

17/12/2022

Who needs an Emu egg under their tree this year??

We have 4 currently ready to help that wish list.

Shipping is available.

Just look at they effort they put into their nest! 🤣

Some fun video of Chiefs Major Reaction, Aka, Ghost Rider (or Storm II), doing what he does best 🤣

Not only can Dax pull off Hats... he is also classy in ties!

This is Bellatrix!

It is one of 2 possums that visits us for cat food on a regular basis. I feed them up by the house, away from our horse pasture, hoping to keep them out of trouble.

We have been trying to trap a big old Tom Cat we call Tuxedo for almost a year (we aren't using a humane trap, there is too many other critters that will set it off, we are trying to trap him in the garage 🤣) and we finally caught him on Friday!

Turns out, Tuxedo wasn't the only one we caught in the garage!

Bellatrix was safely relocated outside by our mailbox, and we hope to see her again soon!

It's very important to us here that we try to co-exist with as many of the creatures that are here on the farm as we can.

03/12/2022

This is our 2 yr old male Emu, Dax.

He is our wonderful bird that enjoys trying on new hats that I find, or even our friends find from all over the US!

I found a few items for him recently on my trip to Texas A&M, and here he is modeling the first!

Dax the Hat Wearing Emu!
