How did you come up with your farm/ranch name?

Locust Haven Farm

We have lots and lots of Locust trees.

Black Locust or Honey Locust? (just curious)

 

[SheepGirl]

I'm still trying to think of one!

Same here

I saw you just started a journal. How many and what kind of sheep do you have?

I have Montadale/Babydoll Southdown crosses. Montadale influence ranges from 1/4-1/2 and Babydoll influence ranges from 1/2-3/4. I have a 2006 ewe, a 2009 ewe, two 2012 ewe lambs I may retain for breeding, a 2009 ram, and a 2010 wether. You can see pictures of them in my lambing thread under the breeds/breeding sheep forum

Well, I have no idea. I will have to ask about that.

Mine is Ewe Crazy Farms.

I really like it and thought It was original and funny but you would be surprised at how many people don't know a ewe is a female sheep. So when they see the word Ewe in the name they pronounce it as Ewwwww (as in nasty.). And think that's what it means too until I explain it to them. Then they are like OHHHHH....

My dad came up with mine because he thought I was crazy for starting a farm. Plus it is a play on words to the word Ewe.

What type of pods do they get?

A black locust has small pods with tiny black seeds inside.

The honey locust gets longer pods that are a deep maroon color and inside (around October here) have a green honey tasting jell in them. The jell is edible to humans and the whole pod is edible to livestock. It's actually a very good fodder for animals and you can grow more tons of it in an acre than you can corn.

We have one rather old Honey Locust here. I just love it. They also have some massive thorns on them.

White Cedar Farm

We have a lot of cedars (specifically northern white cedars) and everything else "cedar" is done to death: Cedar Valley, Cedar Creek, Cedar Springs, Cedar Hill, so I went with White Cedar instead.

Our Gate To Your Plate

We were trying to think of a business name while having lunch at an agricultural show and the forks we were using had written on them "Put Pork on your Fork"

ours have thorns, do they both have thorns? Not sure about the pods, but I will try to ask my DH. Sounds interesting.
