Hey, Y'all! We have been out of town for the past few weeks and will be heading out again as we are on our quest for a new (hopefully larger) farm in Tennessee!

However, with this search (and hopefully, subsequent move) we need to downsize our 'herd'.

So, from the smallest to the largest we have several animal friends that need homes, some for free, some for sale. Here are the candidates for a new home:

Zippy, a 5 yo Cockatiel that needs love. He comes with the cage, the cage is for sale and he is free! Cage, bird, food and toys, $30 (the cage is worth $40).

Ziva, a 6 yo mix doggy. We believe she is a mix of mastif and bull dog, but we are not sure. She was dumped on the side of the road with her brother and sister as little pups and we brought her home. She had knee surgery at about 1 yo and has arthritis in that knee. She has a flea allergy and currently has no hair on her lower back, but she is doing well.  She is very sweet and loving (an affection thief), good with children and is a good watch dog. She is free to a good home.

Angel, a 2 yo mix doggy. She is a retriever, lab, ? mix. Angel is the puppy that has a foot missing. She lost it in an accident on the farm at 6 months old. She does fine without it, but limps a bit. She is very sweet, good with children, a great watch dog, and needs some attention for teaching not to jump up. She has learned to fetch, but still won't bring it back! She is free to a good home.

We have sheep!

Herd starter: RomneyxCotswald
Includes - Moshe, the dark brown Romney Ram. Esther and Hadassah, twins, 1 white 1 dark brown, RomneyxCotswald. Posey Baby, RomneyxCotswald. Their fleeces are very shiny, medium grade, and long. Great for new spinners and large enough for putting some meat in the fridge (if you can part with them.) Great multi-purpose breeds. Asking $1000.

We have other sheep for sale for food or fleece, please ask.

Kahra is a spotted Jersey heifer calf born in January 2014.  She is starting to warm up to people, but needs some handling if she is to be used as a family milk cow. She is not halter broke. Asking $1000 or $1200 if you want us to halter break and work with her in the stanchion. This will take about a month or so.

Thirty-one is a Spotted Jersey milk cow. She only has 3 good quarters, but she still produces 3 gals a day at peak production. She is bred back and dried off. She will calve in the spring. She needs an experienced milker (or machine) or to be used as a nurse mom for other calves. Her milk is very rich and creamy! She has a sweet disposition. She is our herd mama (translate, she thinks she is in charge.) Asking $1000.

Dixie, an 19 yo registered quarter horse mare, that needs a forever home. She is black with a blaze. She does not like to run and is a great beginner horse, works best with children. She is on a special diet (oats and hay only, kudzu root herb) to manage a cushings event we experienced shortly after purchasing her. She does fine but needs her kudzu root herb daily and no sweets (like a diabetic). She is not on medication. Asking $300 for her.

Please contact me about any of the animals above if you have questions or want to meet them.
