Rocky Road Farm

My Goal
My goal to raise quality animals, meat and eggs for both my family and yours.

We'll have chicks, turkey poults, ducklings, goslings, & both eating and hatching eggs. A few adults for the freezer and for breeding.
Also, we'll have Kathadin/Dorper hair lambs, Pygmy and Pygmy/Nigerian Dwarf bottle kids, and possibily a couple of mini &/or full size Nubian kids. Also, Colored New Zealand Rabbits for meat and breeding and Lionhead bunnies for pets.
Full breed heritage hogs and Pot Belly Pigs.
Several people are requesting Pot Belly Pigs for the smaller homesteads.

I will also be putting in a garden this spring to start raising vegetables to can and barter for other vegetables/fruits we could use.
Another goal is to start a fruit orchard for our use and to barter/sell. So keep watching for that in the future.
If there is any type of animal you're looking for email us. We may know of someone who is raising what you're looking for.

2011 New Year/ New Dreams

Hi all,
We're finally starting to show a profit for all the work we've put into the farm.
I sold several of our kid goats and three lambs the other night with another ram lamb being picked up yesterday.
It was so great to be able to deposit that money into our farm account.

I've decided to concentrate on raising the hair sheep breeds. I have 7 Katahdin ewes, 2 are yearlings, and a gorgeous Dorper ram. I hope to have lambs out of him by this coming spring.
I'm still looking for St. Croix sheep to add those bloodlines to my herd.
I still have a few Toulouse and American Buff geese I would like to sell or trade for Pilgrim geese.

My gilt should be having her piglets in early April so if anyone is interested in great feeder piglets let me know.
I am also planning on going into the large breed dairy goats to start milking for the fresh milk.
A goal is to find a dairy (Jersey) cow that I can hand milk for us to have fresh milk for making butter and cheese as well as wholesome milk for us and the animals.
