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, is a wonderful mom and provided us with creamy milk while we milk-shared with her 2025 calf, Lilac. She gave birth to a Wagyu Cross heifer calf in June of 2026.

We currently have 5 dairy ewes - two are East Friesian/ Awassi (Blossom and Poppy) and three are East Friesian/ Lacaune crosses (Rosie, Daisy and Carnation). All of them gave birth to healthy lambs in April 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'.

Blue Sky Lillypad (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.

Lilly and Queso had a litter of seven Great Pyrenees puppies who will be available to move to their forever homes by mid to end July 2026.

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 50% Red Angus, 25% Brown Swiss, 25% Jersey heifer who will stay with us to grow our beef herd.

Tito the Queso King (Queso) is a purebred Great Pyrenees Livestock Guardian Dog who came to us at the beginning of 2026. He is a big, sweet, and gentle boy who easily fit into our family and does a wonderful job protecting the ewes with Lilly.

Violet is Hazel's second calf, born on 6/8/26 at Blue Sky Homestead. She is a 50% Wagyu, 25% Brown Swiss, 25% Jersey heifer calf and will stay with us to grow our beef herd.
