Sheep

We keep a small flock of percentage Dorper sheep in our fields. We enjoy the overall hardiness and low-maintenance of the breed, and we love the pretty markings the percentages sport!

 

Southwind's Famous Amos Moses

    "Amos" is a 92% ADSBS registered Dorper ram.  He was born February ninth, 2005. He was bred by Southwind Dorpers of Knob Noster, MO. He is heavily muscled and has a great, easy-to-work-with temperament. All ewes will be bred to him for January 2012 lambs.

Schipper's Dorothy

    "Dorothy" is a 7/8 Dorper ewe born November 22, 2003.  She was our first sheep, given to us as  a bottle lamb by Maurice Schipper of Montgomery City, MO. Dorothy shows true Dorper characteristics when she sheds in the summer. She retains the cape over her shoulders and back, which was used to protect against flies.

 

Eriphos Farm Stella

"Stella" is an 89.75% Dorper ewe lamb born February 12, 2011. She is out of Dorothy and Amos. Stella can be registered as 46% Dorper with the ADSBS. She is very striking and stout. Stella was exhibited at the 2011 Crawford Co. Fair, and the judge had nothing but good things to say about her!

 

Alpacas

We've always been interested in these unique animals, but had to gain our alpaca experience while assisting others on their alpaca ranches. When we moved to our new home, Tina Travis (Elkhorn Alpacas) brought us these lovely animals! It will be a while before our first cria, but we are already excited. We will only be offering the occasional Suri weanling for sale.

Elkhorn's Saphira

 "Saphira" (from the Aram word "Sappheire," meaning "beautiful") is our white/light fawn Suri female born 07/02/09 out of Louisville Slugger (White/light fawn) and Elkhorn's Luster Queen (White).

   Elkhorn's Tigress

   "Ressi" is a pretty dark fawn Suri girl born April of 2010.

CalvesTeri and Annabelle, Angus heifer, win 2007 Grand Champion Bucket Calf

We were blessed with an older Charolais X Angus cow/ calf pair as a home warming gift this fall of 2009! Thank you to Laurel Grench of Brighton, IL! We also occasionally take in rejected, "frozen," or problem calves, as well as purchasing a bucket calf or two for a fun project. These calves are disbudded, vaccinated, dewormed, and banded (if bull calves) before sale.
 

 

 

"Millie" is a aged Charolais X Angus cow. She is very docile and broke to milk, as well as being a great mother, making her perfect for our small farm!

Little White Dove

    "Dove" is our Charolais cross heifer. She is out of Millie and a Charolais X Simmental bull. Dove was born August fourth, 2011. Teri is excited to show her at the local 4-H shows next year!!

Holstein Feeder Calves

   We often have Holstein feeder calves for sale. These are calves we purchase straight from a dairy at 1-3 days old and raise on a mix of goats' milk and replacer. The calves are banded, disbudded, vaccinated, and dewormed (if needed). They are available at three months old.
