Tower Ranch Alaska

One of the greatest things about being a forever home is watching them grow old. One of the hardest things, is watching them grow old.    I inherited Charlie and his angels from a friend who was moving out of state. “I know you won’t eat them” and she was right. I promised to let…

  No fiber farm is complete until they have fiber goats 🙂   Pygora goats are adorable, fluffy, and sweet.    It was quite the experience loading 6 adorable goats into the bed of a pickup and driving the short distance home.    Don’t worry, we had collars and leashes and 3 humans to manage the goats…

   Just when you think Spring is right around the corner you wake up to a cold reality.  Not everyone minds though, Tarn just wants that belly rub. It’s pretty hard to argue with that face     Even the sheep with their frosty whiskers are too cute for mere words.        What…

Tarn is teaching them to inspect the perimeter of the…

These guys are so cute!!!       Tarn is such a good mom.                                                  The big dogs alarm barked so all the littles snapped to attention.       And then playtime resumed.    

Woolley Nelson was a big fuzzy bear but it was hot so we cut off all his hair       One day a friend stopped by the barn And asked if she could turn some of that wool into yarn.    I knit up a scarf with edging of lace  To wear outside when the air…

We have 4 little darlings from this litter available to protect your flocks.   These purebred Maremmas were born in the barn and are growing up with sheep and poultry. Parents and grandparents are working onsite.    These dogs can be registered and will have microchips and first shots before they go to their new…

The pups are eating dry kibble as well as nursing but their table manners… Emily Post would have kittens at the sight.       They have also graduated to big kid bed – transitioning from blankets to straw bedding which, of course, they had to play in. Video Link We hear a lot of things in…
