This page is dedicated to our sheep and goats that are not purebred, but instead are mixed or crossed.  Some say that mixed breed animals are healthier than their purebreed counterparts.  We can't vouch for every mixed breed animal, but we do notice that when a virus or other illness comes through our flock our mixed breed sheep and goats are usually immune or show minimal signs of whatever infection is currently going on.  We don't have fancy paperwork on our mixed breed sheep and goats but our prices aren't as high on them either and paperwork does not matter when it comes to having a nice, healthy pet to eat weeds, to produce milk and to make wool.  Our Kona, gives a little more milk than our Nigerians and I've noticed that the taste is a little sweeter too but she is still a nice small animal who doesn't require heavy duty fencing or a ton of food to keep her nice and fat throughout the winter.  So please take a moment to see what we have for sale on this page, all our animals receive the same high quality care no matter what their parentage is and they were chosen with the same critical eye to quality and health too.  All our animals are wormed on a regular basis, hooves are trimmed at least four times a year and all have their CDT shots every year.  I need to point out that when we say "crosses" we do not mean that we have bred a sheep to a goat! That is almost impossible due to the differences in chromosones, it does happen occasionally but we don't expect it to happen here and we aren't trying either.  Our angoras are goats, not sheep. If one of our rams did mate with one of our angoras all it would do is cause her to go out of season and we would lose an entire year in our breeding program. 

Lilly, is a shetland/romanov cross.  Lilly is shown here with the first of her twin ewe lambs from the summer of 08.  A quick note about Lilly, she is actually 1/2 shetland and 1/2 romanov.  The romanov's are known to have "litters" of lamb.  Lilly has yet to have a litter but both times she has been bred here, she has delivered twin ewe lambs, Lilly is an excellent mother to her own lambs and twice I've seen Lilly by the side of other ewes "assisting" them as they deliver their lambs too; she is smart and a great mom.  **Update, this year, 2011, Lilly delivered triplets and needed the assistance of our vet.  He told us that her pelvis was too small for that many lambs and that we should not breed her ever again.  Lilly is now retired and living in Wisconsin with her original breeder who has gotten out of breeding sheep but can give Lilly a wonderful, and long retirement.  She did her job very well and we have her offspring Isobelle to continue her legacy. 

Lilly delivered a gorgeous pure snowy white ewe lamb for us this year (2010).  We call her Isobelle, she is being retained.  3/11

Radar, our new Icelandic ram before being sheared.  4/10  Radar is for sale, we just could not get things together enough to buy purebred Icelandic ewes and set up another pasture.  He is too good to just sit around here.  $300.00

Kona is shown here with her kid from 08 by her side.  Sugar is on the right.  Kona is a pygmy/fainter cross but looks just like our Nigerian girls.  Same size and a great milker too.  I actually like her milk a little better than our pure Nigerians, it is a bit sweeter tasting.  Kona's kids have never been a disapointment to us, they are always strong, fast growing, intelligent and friendly. 

Jan 5, 2012 Kona delivered a pair of twin boys last night.  The boys are strong, healthy and very sweet.  We will wether them around 8 weeks old if they are not reserved by someone as bucks.  Both are for sale.  The rose/grey colored one has blue eyes.  The dark brown has brown eyes but is solid colored, no white on him anywhere.  It is actually very difficult to find a goat that is solid colored, except for Saanans, who are all pure white.
