Miss Willow was supervising the rams get feed their evening meal.

For my knitting friends out there, I have completed the test knitting for a great new shawl The Shepherd's Way Shawl. I used three natural moorit shades of my R...omeldale CVM yarn in DK weight using US 9 circular needles to accommodate the final number of stitches. The designer, Deerly Woven, designed this with the breeds on the Livestock Conservancy's conservation priority list in mind. I will have kits including the yarn (one skein each of 3 natural shades of Romeldale CVM) and the pattern available and 15% of the proceeds will be given to the Livestock Conservancy. Just PM me if interested. The kits will contain either 3 shades of moorit, 3 shades of gray, or cream, dark moorit, and very dark gray. See more

So how do 8 puppies weighing more than 2 pounds each all nurse at the same time?? Only with a very patient momma and lots of jostling around! Hard to believe they are 2 weeks old... #scottishcolliesofinstagram #scottishcolliepreservationsociety #MarushkaFarms

Who would have thought that getting weighed and having an ENS session would make puppies so tired and hungry! The puppies are all growing well and now have thei...r eyes open. What fun to watch this progress on a daily basis. #scottishcolliepreservationsociety #MarushkaFarms #scottishcolliesofinstagram See more

I wanted to share a few photos of Lexi and her young ones, now three days old and growing like weeds. Several are over one pound already!

Wonderful opportunity for those who might need some support of their heritage livestock and/or poultry breeding programs!

The importance of the microgrants to the conservation efforts of farmers raising heritage breeds of livestock cannot be overstated. We believe in this program and have donated enough to cover microgrants for the last 2 years. Please consider donating to this worthy cause and help conserve precious heritage breeds!
