Critters at Freestep Farm

Freestep Farm is home to Petunia, a sweet and ladylike milk goat. We acquired her in the summer of 2009 and are loving the fresh, sweet milk she gives us every day. This spring she gave us babies, a girl and a boy. The boy will be neutered, dehorned and available as a pet when he is weaned.

Baby goats are an endless source of entertainment.

Luka Von Sontausen CD is my all-around companion, protector, and farm hand. She takes good care of her charges, and is always up for a game of Stick. If you don’t throw it, she may throw it at you.

Beluga Whale is an Akbash Dog, a livestock guardian breed. These dogs were bred to live with livestock and protect them from predators. “Whaley”, as we call him, is a gentle giant and very protective of all the critters. At 130 lbs, he appears rather intimidating, but is also polite with human and canine guests.

We also have several felines—some are fancy purebreds who never set foot outdoors, others are rough-and-tumble farm cats who help keep the rodent population under control. All of them enjoy a good cuddle now and then.
