May 2026 Update
Farm update.

First up, the back fence is officially up, and the boys have been hard at work clearing the new pen. They’ve been absolutely loving every minute of it. Nothing makes goats happier than fresh brush and a new area to explore.
On the poultry side of things, our Bresse girls are growing up fast. The eggs are almost up to regular size now, which means we should hopefully be able to begin offering Bresse hatching eggs within the next couple of weeks if everything continues going well.
Our Guinea are also laying!! and they're looking very fertile so far. We should have some hatching eggs available very soon.
We’re officially adding Trixie Lou to the herd. Trixie is this year's first and so far only doeling. She is out of Tilly Jane x Trailing Looks. If she makes weight in time for breeding season, she’ll be joining next year’s milk group. We’re excited to watch her mature and see how she develops over the coming months.
We also have a new horse addition here at the farm. Meet Dave, a 17-year-old Percheron cross with a previous police horse background. Dave has already settled in nicely and has the kind of steady, thoughtful personality we love to see. The long-term plan is for him to become part of our future lesson program.
And finally, we’re excited to pre-introduce the newest future guardian of Loki Farms: Sigyn.
Sigyn is a Central Asian Shepherd, and she should be coming home around the beginning of June. CAS are an ancient livestock guardian breed known for being calm, thoughtful, independent, and deeply devoted to the animals they protect. Unlike some guardian breeds that are constantly reactive, CAS dogs are known for conserving energy, assessing situations carefully, and responding with confidence when necessary.
And lastly, a small future herd note for those looking for a family milk goat. Daisy will likely be available in Spring 2027 as a homestead milk doe after she kids. While she doesn’t have the udder structure we’re aiming for in our long-term breeding program, she has been an excellent milk goat for us. She loves being milked, is easy to handle, has large hand-milking teats, and consistently produces a lot of milk. We think she’ll make a wonderful family dairy goat for the right home.
As always, thank you to everyone following along with our little farm adventure.
Spring has been busy here at Loki Farms, and we finally have a few exciting updates to share.
Her breeder, Fox On Fire Farm (who also gave me permission to use her photos,) described her as the biggest female in the litter, super chill, sweet, and not interested in making waves. She tends to go with the flow, avoids resource guarding, and already shows signs of wanting to bond more closely with stock than people as she matures. We were also told she has a very nice structure, a biddable nature, and natural leadership qualities without being pushy about it.
Honestly, she sounds exactly like the kind of guardian we were hoping to add here, and we’re very excited to meet her in person and watch her grow into her role over the next couple of years.
