Llamas for Sale

White Mountain Winneweta (Winny) is for sale. She is a yearling female out of Fabyan and Queen of the May. She has a great disposition and will be great as a pet, pasture companion and guard, hiking llama, and more!I am looking to free lease Arethusa as a non-breeding female to a loving home (possibly the same home as the one that Winny goes to!). She is a pleasure to be around with a great personality. She is 13 years old and would be a good pet, pasture companion or guard llama. I would like to see her live out her days in peace and would be willing to do a free lease on an annual basis and would require access to her four times a year for foot and coat maintenance and to check up.Winny and Arethusa know each other well and would do well together at the same home. If someone wanted to get two llamas for the price of one - this would be a great way to do it!

Angora Rabbits for Sale

Here is our most recent litter of Angora rabbits. There are seven for sale from the litter by Dust Bunny X Ethan. They were born on June 20th of this year. They are hybrids: 51% French, 39% German, 9.5% Satin, and 0.5% English. This mix gives a high yielding rabbit with a dense coat that generally will shed their coat and can be brushed to retrieve the fiber. This is our favorite mix concerning fiber and animal care. These rabbits are $85 each. We will bring them to the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival on October 3rd and 4th at the Tunbridge Fair Grounds.

There are two female black steels and two male black steels (color seen below). Their fiber color will be deep gray and will bring a deep colored dye like navy blue or burgundy (as apposed to blue and red).

There are 3 black tortoise coloration for sale. There are two males and one female. There is one dark male (shown below) and the other two are very light, almost fawn.

We also have two 3-year old non-breeding females for sale that are about 93% German. They can generally be brushed but need to be shorn at least once a year. They have friendly dispositions, have been to schools and fairs. We are selling them for $50 each or both for $80.Thanks for visiting our blog!

Cracker Barrel Bazaar in Newbury, VT: A Success!

We had a fantastic day the Cracker Barrel Bazaar last Saturday, the 18th of July. We rented a tent and put pictures of the llamas and rabbits as the backdrop. We had yarn and blankets hanging in the tent and umbrella. We had soaps (made a Thyme to Heal Shoppe in Lisbon, NH), salves, yarn, felted items, our mother's woven blankets, rabbits, and sheep skins for sale. The happy rabbits we set up on the grass all day and we had children through the booth constantly giving them attention. We sold soap, felted items, yarn, hand made greeting cards picturing our rabbits and llamas, and even a hand woven blanket! All of these things are always available for sale through mail or visits! Just shoot us an email and we can set up an appointment!We finally sold our beautiful buck, Merlin at this show! He is a breeding quality German hybrid, but he was just too related to our rabbitry for us to keep. He is just as sweet as his father, our legendary Ethan Allen (known for his temperament). Good luck at your new home, Merlin!

Angora Rabbits for Sale

We will also have mixed breed rabbits for sale as pets at the Cracker Barrel Bazaar this Saturday the 18th at the Newbury Commons in Newbury, Vermont. There are many cute colors! We will also bring adult Angora rabbits for sale to the Bazaar this Saturday.

Shearing and Weaning

Here are Cocoa and her baby Cocoa Puff with their new looks! Hana shore these two lovely girls at Scenic View Farm in Whitefield, NH while I shore Crunch and Munch, the two appaloosa boys seen below.

Crunch and Munch:

Hana and I brought Arethusa and Winny to a new farm. We would like to breed Arethusa and Winny is being weaned from May. Here is Are with the newest cria on the farm!

Winny and Are hang out in this bigger girl herd.

Here is the big man, Mapsoot, that we would like to breed Are to. She is 14 years old and in excellent body condition. She would be fine having another cria, it would be her 5th. However, her last cria was 6 years ago and since camelids are induced ovulaters it may take her a while to get back on her cycles.

What a cutie!I walked out the backdoor the other day and found these silly turkeys sleeping like this! I had to take a picture, it was so funny!

Shearing time!

Here, Bella and Winny will model their beautiful new "haircuts."This was Winny's first haircut and she did very well! She soon learned that standing still was important and didn't move while I shore her with hand shears. What a good llama!Arethusa is chilling out. She was shorn late last year, so will wait a year and get shorn early next year.

Urban Farms

Our first litter of the year was born to our black doe Terre Madre and our black buck, JJ. Here they are at about a month old. This picture was taken of them today! They have grown a lot in the past month. They are almost as bit as Terre. These rabbits are being rotated on our lawn so they can mow and fertilize our yard while also eventually providing a healthy source of meat for our family. We may keep the white one for future breeding - she has great big ears like her mother.

Our second litters were born last night to Louis and Dea seen below. Dea is a satin rabbit that we rescued and Louis was purchased from Scenic View Farm in Whitefield. We keep the does with litters close to the back door so we can watch them and you can see our other rabbit hutches just behind them. We have two litters of Angora rabbits due in two weeks. Here is Louis' nest. She had one white and two gray bunnies. We bred her with one of our small Angora rabbits, Twilight, and will see if any of these will have the Angora trait.

Here is Dea's nest. She has had multiple, spotted bunnies.

Here, you can see our cat relaxing in the shade with our pastured rabbits.

Here, our cat wants to be the center of attention when I take a picture of our multi-species back lawn with the rabbits in the foreground and our Embden and Toulouse geese, Louise and Toula, in the background stretching their wings.Toula and Louise love to graze. They are put out in their pen every day to graze and will go back into their shed at night by themselves. They feel safe their. For the first few days that we had them they were laying several eggs a week. They have stopped at this point. A friend of mine told me that geese only lay eggs in the spring. We will see if they lay any more at this point. They are excellent at mowing the grass and fertilizing the lawn.

Here, Toula is taking her afternoon bath...

Now, Louise wants a turn!
Here are our Cornish Giants. They are growing quite quickly, they are about two weeks old. I will need to get the chicken tractor ready in about two weeks so they can go on the rest of our lawn. We currently have 13.

We also are experimenting with bronze turkeys. We have two and they will most likely live with or near the geese. We have more electronet fencing that we can use to keep them in the yard.

And last, our favorites! Hana and I love ducks! We are considering breeding and raising Indian Runners as egg layers and meat birds. They are spectacular fun to have around the yard and love to eat pests like slugs.

Thank you for visiting our blog! We will have Angora rabbits for sale sometime in August and have a yearling llama for sale as well!
