We had an earlier than expected cold snap. A couple of weeks before Thanksgiving temperatures dropped and we had a hard frost. Okay, so it’s not unexpected that we have a frost in November around here, but we had temperatures below freezing for several days, which is a bit unusual. Our barn store is not
…and does eggshell color really matter? It’s your most burning question. You open a carton of eggs to make breakfast. But do you know if those eggs are good enough for your family? How fresh are they? How healthy were the chickens who laid them? How far did they have to travel to get to
Pearl (REG# AN1862142) and Samson (REG# N1776637) This will be Pearl’s 5th kidding, all with Samson. She has some strong bloodlines in her lineage, and she has proven herself to be a great mother and generous milker. She has given us nine girls, one boy so far and all have been flashy. She gives us
Laurel (REG#N001932433) and Ollie (REG# N1970816) Laurel is out of Sunny and Samson and we have enjoyed watching her grow. She is a tall and solid girl with a lot of her mother’s attributes. We have bred her again to Ollie this year. Both Ollie and Sunny have lineage going back to Fox’s Pride and

Sunny (REG# N1794093) and Samson (REG# N1776637) Sunny is our Fox’s Pride doe and we couldn’t be happier to have her. She is very “dairy.” She gives us a gallon a day and milks out easily. Her kids have been a nice balance between her great lineage and Sammy’s color. RETURN TO 2021 KIDDING
