I haven’t updated the site in a long time. Life got busy and I forgot passwords and web browsers have to be updated. Oh My! but none the less… I’m going to try to use the blog much more now that I’m back in. The last post was quite a while ago and those babies have grown so much. I’ll have to get you some recent photos of just how cute these guys are these days.
The goats have proven themselves to be a challenge to us and our lack of goat raising knowledge. But the men folk on the farm have really been trying to get a handle on the issues and we are trying to improve the health of the herd. Farming is not without heartbreak. and we have had our share of it this year. But right now things are looking good and we are prepping for the 4-H sheep show in a few weeks. Try to stay cool folks. And when you walk out side and feel this nasty heat, say a little prayer for the farmers that are out there working in it.

Two of the 3 sets of twins born this year so far. 5 girls 1 boy. We lost one set of mixed twins. Of the 6 babies, 3 are traditional boer and 3 are colored.

2015 is booming for the Silvey Farms family. We have several of our does ready to kid, our lamb program had a great year for our farm bred labs, and our farm fresh meat business is moving to the next phase. Our soaps and lotions are featured at Ms. Luciles in Clarksville, and we will continue to expand this line of our farm sales.

We have been busy at the farm this January.  We have had 3 sets of twins, one set of triplets, and 5 singles born this month alone.  We are over halfway done with lambing, and feel this is our best crop of club lambs. We will post pictures as soon as we get some decent lighting in the barn.

The lambing season has begun already, with the birth of our first lamb, Pepper. She is healthy and has grown quite a bit since October. She will become a replacement ewe for our growing flock. If she progresses, she will see some show action this year.
