Hello, there! I am TheSheepGirl. Not to be confused with SheepGirl.
I have been a crazy animal nut for as long as I can remember. I have been raising chickens for 8 years, rabbits for 8 years, goats for 6 years, sheep for 3 years. I also raise Coturnix Quail, Bobwhite Quail, and guinea pigs. And i have a Llama to guard the sheep and goats at my mother's farm Nick's Pick Farm.
I am a Freshman in college and am studying to get my degree in Biology and Zoology. My future goal is to work in wildlife rehabilitation or to be a handler at a zoo.
For now i just run Kozy Orchard Farms, a cozy orchard acre on the Oregon Coast. The orchard consists of 6 apple trees, 3 plum trees, 1 pair tree, and 2 cherry trees. All the trees are about 80 years old and produce wonderful and delicious fruit. I use the sheep to graze the orchard down and i have not had to mow in 3 years.
I currently have Ninja, a Miniature Katahdin/Gotland cross ewe who is due to lamb in Febuary or March. I also have 10 chickens on my farm as winter residents.
Enough about me and on to the Journal...
