Our dear friend and
goat lover, biochemist, Dr. Joyce Foster, enjoys a special moment with

Chestnut Springs Farm. We participate in meat goat training programs offered by Joyce and her colleagues at the USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Appalachian Farming Systems Research Center in Beaver, WV. |

Bloom,
our llama, and other animals from Chestnut Springs Farm participate
yearly in a Live Nativity Scene. |
|
Bloom (above) is an excellent example of wool type for a guard llama. Llamas have a natural distrust of canine and other animals that do not 'live' in their pastures. Their curious and cautious nature makes them investigate any new creatures. When llamas think something or someone is intruding in their territory they chase the intruder from the pasture.

Our Little Hen House
We converted an old corn crib into a perfect little hen house,
complete with nesting boxes which are accessible from the outside.
The front section just under the windows have henged doors which allow the boxes to be
opened and eggs gathered from the front of the house.

Our
very first rescue. This is Snow, a beautiful boy who was on his way to
be put down due to aggression issues.
Snow was raised indoors and made it very clear to his owners that he
was not happy with his living conditions. Snow is now the happiest dog
on the face of the earth living with the livestock of Chestnut Springs
Farm! He is also an outstanding guardian! If ever in need
of a nice LGD rescue please visit: http://www.agprescue.com/index.html
and fill out the neccessary application. We usually always
have some very nice LGD prospects available. |

War Paint is Chad's awesome APHA gelding. He is everything and more than I ever expected in a horse! He just turned 3 in May, 2006 and has better sense than most. I'd like to thank Angela Dillon of Princeton for taking the time to work with War Paint and for making him the great horse he has become.... |
