We have quite a number of critters here at the Ranch.
First, and foremost is our small herd of pure bred Nubian goats. The girls are the core of our cheese making operations, the bucks are vital to our herd improvement efforts and, of course, there are always a few wethers around for goat packing or just plain fun rounding the total to about 40 (or so) altogether.
We also keep some laying hens for eggs. Periodically there will be 25 to 50 Cornish Rock broiler chickens around being raised for the freezer. We also have some ducks, guineas and peafowl running around.
Then there are our dogs and cats. We have 3 Livestock Guardian Dogs (LGDs), and one all-purpose pet ranch dog too, plus there's usually a barn cat or two around to help keep the rodents under control.
We also now have some Dexter and Belted Galloway cattle to complete a well-rounded ranch picture.
Now let me introduce you to some of the critters...
