Mantodea Farm

Mantodea Farm Take everything in stride… Pronunciation: man-TOE-dee-ah

With its large eyes and swiveling head, the mantid entertains and fascinates us.

Most people call members of the suborder Mantodea praying mantises, referring to their prayer-like posture when sitting. Mantis is a Greek word meaning prophet or soothsayer. The mantis comes to us when we need peace, quiet and calm in our lives. Usually the mantis makes an appearance when we've flooded our lives with so much business, activity, or chaos that we can no longer hear the still small

voice within us because of the external din we've created. It was here, at what was Busy B Farm, where we saw these fascinating creatures, the praying mantis on every visit. It seemed to be a sign of good fortune and represented the peace, calm, and magic that we were looking for in our lives.

At 3.5 days old, lil fluffy ‘Rusty Boots’ is getting his big bad ‘bull’ skills going…

step 1: start with taking on a bucket

step 2: move up to taking on Dolly

And our 2nd calf arrived this evening, thankfully in cooler temps.

This sassy lil heifer is 75% Highland and is a pretty color not sure exactly what it is technically - but we will have her tested - as they aren’t always what they appear to the eye.

Her momma is a first-timer, but one would never know - she knows her job. Can’t wait to see her all dried off and fluffy tomorrow!

“Pia” seeing her first cattle.
She bravely walked right up to the fenceline to see them. Working with cattle is in the blood for Lusitanos for their role in bull fighting and working cattle for centuries.

Introducing:

UTOPIA CAL

“Pia” is just what we have been looking for to be our foundational APSL Lusitano mare. She has great genetics, beautiful confirmation, very intelligent, has a calm and curious demeanor - and she is of course my favorite, a buckskin.

We look forward to raising and bringing along this gorgeous filly. Many thanks to her breeder, Cielo Azure Lusitanos (CAL) for providing this opportunity for our farm.

I could not be more thankful.

What an amazing group of people that put on the A Splash of Color Boer Goat Sale, so inviting and supportive of our farm. And what an organized and professional group. Perry, I really appreciate you as well as everyone else that leaned in and welcomed us. Just wish it wasn’t the last time…

Thankful for buyers from across the world and even more blessed for all those that purchased from right here in our special goat community in the Mid-Atlantic.

I am not sure I would have literally gotten there much less through the weekend without the help of Carrie Miller, Patrick Aliff and my mom, Rae Carson. And all those that kept things running at home, John, Tiffani and Steve. It was a scramble from beginning to end, but could not be more blessed to be surrounded with such special people.

I hope all those that purchased our animals love them as much as I have.

Thank you.
