Lambs on their summer pasture
Sheep
Sheep have been the heart of our farm since before I was born. I grew up looking forward to our lambing season and hoping for a bottle baby to feed. Still today they have a special place in my heart as my personal favourite animal on the barn (but don’t tell the others)

Cows
Charlotte and Olivia our highland coo’s started our herd back in 2012 and remain the matriarchs today. Each cow in our herd is a descendant from one or they other and they have the cows have the special honor of being some of the only named livestock on the farm. Charlotte, Olivia, Caroline, Meredith, Edith and Sybil as our current resident cows.

Donkey
Donkey, donkey, donkey. Donkey is the first (and likely the only) donkey this farm has ever seen. She is full of personality and loves her snuggles but will absolutely bite you at any opportunity. I bought donkey as my first livestock purchase in 2018 at just one year old (and they can live 30 years) so she will be here a while.
