Little Sister


"Sissy" is a 25 yr old blind appaloosa mare. She was found wandering along a highway and turned over to the Livestock Identification Service. After no owner was located, they asked me to take her.

She is quite the character; feisty, cuddly when she wants to be, the first to start yelling for her feed in the morning. She's just a great mare to have around. I caught her having a nap in the sunshine for this photo.

I think they're cute, but maybe it's just me????

New Chickens





Went to another exotic livestock auction to add to the flock. I've nwo got quite the colorful bunch...although so far only one little hen is giving me eggs. But so far those eggs have hatched out 9 baby chicks!
