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.

Crippled Lamb

We were given a crippled lamb saturday afternoon. She couldn't stand on her front legs at all. She had been born earlier that day, one of triplets. The other two were bouncing all over with their momma when we went to pick her up.
She's a beautiful example of a black headed Dorper w/ very few black markings on her legs.
I've gotten her to stand up for a minute at a time several times today and am very optomistic that she will survive.
I have been trying to find anything online that I might do for her to help her regain the strength in her front legs.
I'll try to get some pictures of her tomorrow.
We're calling her Hope is she lives.
