Clay & Ivy Northern Lights is a gorgeous steel gray Flemish doe… not that she wants you to know that. She refuses to pose. She’d rather disappear into her own chins like a fluffy turtle and slowly melt across the table until she becomes one with the surface.

I love Flemish Giants, and I’ve chosen to focus on steels, even though they’re one of the toughest colors to get just right. I’m always trying to balance type, conformation, and coat color, and steels love to keep you guessing as they grow. I held this buck back from his litter because he had the darkest coat, even though it still wasn’t exactly what I wanted at the time. But he’s the perfect reminder to be patient, because as he grows, he’s developing a truly beautiful steel coat. He’s going to his first show this weekend!

I have three junior fawn Flemish Giant bucks that will be ready to hop to new hutches in two weeks! They’re extremely friendly and social. Would make great showmanship/show, pet or breeding prospects. No faults or DQ’s. 📍Burt, MI 48417

I’m over here feeling like Victor Frankenstein “It’s alive!” Except my Silkie/ Satin Frizzle creations are way cuter. I did it! I hatched the most adorable satin frizzle mauve, mauve splash, (one random mottled) and Mille babies EVER!

Some livestock are so bad at life that we cheer when they do… life. 😂

We’re out here celebrating basic survival like it’s a banner. If you know, you know!

This lifestyle is not all rainbows and unicorns. 🦄 🌈

Raising kids with animals builds empathy, responsibility, confidence, and emotional resilience, while naturally teaching the circle of life and deepening a family connection. This little kit was born outside the warm nest box from a first time mom. We tried to warm and save it, but sadly we still lost it. My daughter warmed it on her belly and then I took over at bedtime.

CLAIMED- thanks Nicole ❤️

Dahlia (Dolly) will be ready to find her forever family in the second week of December! She’s a purebred Kunekune gilt—unregistered but out of registrable stock—who absolutely LOVES attention. Her only fault is an extra teat, but she has wattles to make up for it! 📍 Burt, MI 48417
