Meet the Farm Residents

At Blue Sky Homestead, every animal has a vital role to play, contributing to the farm life. From providing milk and wool, to laying eggs, or offering protection - each creature enriches our homestead in its own way.

Hazel, our Jersey/Brown Swiss milk cow, delivered a beautiful, healthy heifer calf at the beginning of July 2025. She is a wonderful mom and provided us with creamy milk while we milk-shared with her calf, Lilac.

Hazel is expected to give birth to a Wagyu calf in July of 2026.

We experienced our first lambing season in 2025, and were blessed with 2 healthy ram lambs. Blossom is an exceptional mom and we enjoyed our first sheep milking, and dairy processing adventures on the homestead. All of our 5 ewes are pregnant again and we are excited for our second lambing season in April of 2026.

Our Jurassic Park residents are a colorful mix of different laying hens and some roosters. They roam our growing orchard during the day and spend the nights in their 'Chicken Camper'.

Lilly is our Great Pyrenees Livestock Guardian Dog who guards and lives with our sheep full-time. Lilly has a very sweet and loving personality and has formed close bonds with the sheep, horses and even the chickens. She loves to play with every animal (and human) that is willing, enjoys long naps during the day and is all business once the sun sets, making sure her flock is safe. Lilly is also a fantastic mouser.

Windy is Christina's go-to equine partner, physical therapist, emotional support and pure enjoyment. She has been with us since 2018, is absolutely reliable and she loves having a job. Windy lives for long trail rides, catching loose animals and even dragging the paddock. Her nickname "Superpony" is well-deserved.

Stormcloud is a coming 5 year old with a great mind and a lot of try. She lines up to mount, opens and closes gates under saddle like a pro, loves getting kissed on her nose and is well on her way to becoming "Superpony 2.0".

Lilac was born in July 2025. She is a sweet and spunky heifer calf who will stay with her mom, Hazel, to grow big and strong.
