What’s new for 2015
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.
New Lambs for 2015
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.

Here are a few pictures of the new Boer goats. This makes 7 females altogether, as we already have 2 mature does. These are just the young does, the young billy is in the barn with the mature club lamb bucks staying nice and dry for the winter. It is also unseasonably warm for January 17th (50’s), so we took a walk in the pasture.
New lambing season begins early.
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.
The barn raising (well, technically it’s being built not raised)
It is day 2 of the barn building, and we are so excited. My uncle in law is building it, along with his son in law and his brother. This is the same crew that built our house, so if you need something built, send me an email. We chose a plan from the UT extension barn plan listing. Search it on the web, great resource! barn plans
