Sheep
The sheep have lived on the ranch the longest. We have 2 sheep remaining from the original herd. Mama sheep, who is the matriarch of Strawberry moon and generally in charge. Mama likes order. She wants everyone to be where they are supposed to be doing what is expected of them at all times. She is a Jacobs sheep. Spotty is her son and is a Jacobs and Himalayan cross. He is a big boy with a tender heart.
Chickens
We currently have 2 flocks of chickens, the Eastside Chicks and the Deco Chicks. We have a combination of Buff and Lavender Orpingtons, Blue Lace Wyndotts, and Easter Eggers. We have fresh free range eggs available for members. We feed our animals all organic although we are not certified.
Turkeys
We raise Heritage Blue Slate Turkeys. We currently have a very small flock of turkeys. Our long range goal is to have 3 separate groups and to establish a breeding program to promote and propagate this exquisite bird. They are beautiful and sensitive. They are very bonded as a flock and are a wonderful addition to the ranch. We currently have no offerings from the turkeys other than their beauty. check out our stickers!
Ducks
We have Cayuga and Buff ducks. They are a delight to sit and watch. We have learned the different tones and moods expressed by their near constant quacking. Our ducks love water, of course. we are working to engineer them a bigger pond. They are the most labor intensive of all of our animals but well worth the effort. We have free range eggs available for members
Dogs
We have 2 Livestock guardian dogs who watch over all of us. These are the absolute smartest dogs we have ever had the pleasure of working with. They are bold and beautiful and have keen senses of humor. At times they think things are funny that we don’t think are so funny. They find each other hilarious.
Cats
Our cat friends have an important function here. They are beautiful and graceful plus they keep the house and cabin free of mice and other small intruders. We have three cats. Two of them agree that the dogs are hilarious and one thinks they are not amusing whatsoever.
Goats
The goats are even funnier than the dogs. They amuse themselves by trying to open the gate and going on forbidden adventures. They like to eat the barn and they really enjoy parties. They are the most outgoing of us here at Strawberry moon ranch.
