Laughing Orca Ranch

Laughing Orca Ranch

http://laughingorcaranch.blogspot.com/

A journey into farm/ranch life with chickens, dairy goats (La Manchas, Nigerians) and fiber animals, such as Llamas, Alpacas, Angora goats, and Boer goats. Along with learning the ins and outs of hand carding/spinning and knitting hand-crafted yarns we'll try our hand at being a bit self-sustainable by growing our own vegetables and fruit. I'll also share my experiences taking care of my first horse, too.

Join us on our adventures and learn along as we do.

      As I was catching up on my friend Gail’s blog, At the Farm, I read a post with a prophetic and thought-provoking e-mail that she shared. Gail was relating it to what is going on her life, but I couldn’t help but question how it might relate t...

      First off, I just want to thank everyone who participated and left comments on my Caption Contest post. They were all good. I chose Nuzzling Muzzles as the winner because she made me laugh the loudest. Her caption was creative, too. But I also r...

  • Sunday Stills ~ Horses

    Posted on Saturday November 21st, 2009 at 19:49 in Photography, Horses, dakota's baby doll, sunday stills

Hi - my brother referred me to your blog, I am the cowboy who spoke to you about mounted shooting and suggested that you guys attend The Rhinestone Roper show. I like your photos and your site but the one photo of me really showed me that I need to loose my stomach! So next year when we meet I will be in better shape, thanks. Ed

Hello!! i enjoyed reading your blog!! I grew up on a farm in Ohio, also married a man who dairy farmed for many years. We have 2 alpaccas and 2 goats at the present time. My husband is on disability after 2 back surgeries. We recently opened up a web store selling stainless steel wind spinners guaranteed never to rust with many designs, including dogs, farm animals, wild life--plus many others.
