MEET OUR ANIMALS
ANGORA GOATS
Melibran Farms raises Colored and White Angora goats. The majority of our goats are registered with the Colored Angora Goat Breeders Association (CAGBA). We maintain some that are Registered Whites with the American Angora Goat Breeders' Association (AAGBA). The pictures you will access through the 'Learn More' button highlight just a few of
our wonderful animals.
GOTLAND,
BLUEFACED LEICESTER, AND COOPWORTH SHEEP
Melibran Farms has Gotland, Bluefaced Leicester (BFL), and Coopworth sheep. The newest arrival on the farm is Archer, a BFL ram lamb. We look forward to seeing his sired lambs in the near future! Our herd provides wool for unique fiber products that complement our mohair products. The gentleness of the sheep and their sweet desire to be scratched have convinced us
they definitely belong!
GUARDIAN DOGS
We have THE BEST dogs ever at Melibran Farms. Brom, our black German Shepherd, is our constant companion. He watches out for the humans here. Falcor and Arie are two of our adult Livestock Guardian Dogs (LGDs) and they keep an eye on the goats and sheep. Falcor senses when an animal is sick even before they present with symptoms and knows when there are birds of prey near. Arie is so very patient with our goat kids ... and nicknamed 'scary Arie' because of her fierce protective nature. They are a terrific team and share the workload with Bandit, our gentle giant. Bandit patrols the pasture, looking for friend and foe. He LOVES to spend time with humans and our animals.
