Georgi

We have a failed livestock guardian dog named Georgi.  She is a Karakachan which is a rare breed that originates in Bulgaria where they are know as the "Bulgarian Bear dogs".  The name Georgi is a male Bulgarian name that means "earth worker" or "farmer", but we felt it fit her perfectly!

This girl might not be an LGD but she is a great farm pup!

Great Pyrenees

We have two livestock guardians on the farm!  Zeus and Denali are half siblings from a farm in Ohio.  These two are the best pups we could ever ask for to guard our livestock and poultry.  They are always eager to greet visitors at the gate!

Rabbits

Our rabbitry is officially back up and running after a year without any rabbits, and over 5 years without any breedings.

June 2024 we purchased DEB'S BBC194 from Deb's Barn Bunnies in PA.  This doe is the start of our breeding/preservation program with Giant Chinchilla rabbits.  

She has many champions behind her including: 2023 ARBA Convention BOS (sire Triple H's Rocky), and 2024 NJSRCBAOA BOS (Deb's BBC174), her grandparents are national winners as well. 

A snippet from the Livestock Conservancy on the breeds profile:

'Giant Chinchillas are large with mature bucks weighing between 12 to 15 pounds and does 13 to 16 pounds. Meat-producing qualities are given top consideration on the judging table. The breed is gentle in nature. Does have large litters and are very good mothers. Youngsters grow very fast and it's easy to produce a 7-pound fryer in just 2 months.'

Dutch Hookbill Ducks

We have Dutch Hookbill ducks as our preservation flock.  They are a critically endangered breed that originated in the Netherlands.  If you are interested in starting your own flock feel free to get in touch!

Barn Cats

We have a few barn cats that create some amusement around here.  They keep the rodent population down in the farm yard and greet visitors at the gate!
