Coyote Ridge FarmsWelcome To Our Rural Blog

We were lucky enough to have a few visitors this weekend.  Carol was able to sell some poultry, a duck and a couple of bottle goat kids.

The first of our visitors were a delightful couple that came from Hawick, MN, yesterday… buying a good looking, Kentucky Bourbon turkey hen and a Harlequin drake for their little homestead.

Today, we had two more parties looking for some critters.  A gal from Lavern, MN came out and purchased a doeling.  And the other was a couple from the Danube area.  They had been here before when they purchased some Broad-breasted White turkey poults.  This time, they wanted a Kentucky Bourbon hen to go with the tom, that they had purchased from another farm.  Also, they bought one of Carol’s bottle babies – a Boer-cross buckling named Buster… a real cuddler.

If I remember correctly, while Carol and Madison were at a rabbit show yesterday, they sold a bunny to someone from Wabaso, MN.  The main reason for the girls attending the rabbit show was to see how well their rabbits competed against other area rabbit breeders.  We are proud to say that Madison did very well.  She came home with Best of Breed- Satin, Best of Breed- Creme D’Argent, Best of Breed- Dwarf Hotot, & Best Opposite Sex- Mini-Lop Doe.  Madison also acquired a few 2nd’s & 3rd’s.  To say she did OK, would be an understatement.

All-in-all, it was a good weekend for the farm.  Folks are really starting to recognize us for having healthy, good-quality animals.  We’ve worked hard and it’s starting to show.
