Learn The Joy of Handspinning Yarn and Fiber
About
The name Namaste Farms was given to the Redding Ranch as a reflection of the way we feel about our animals. Located in Southern California’s Temecula Valley, Namaste Farms is dedicated to the ethical raising of superior fiber animals. While many breeders respect their animals only as livestock, Namaste Farms regard theirs in an intrinsic manner as well. We believe it is possible to not only respect them for their production values; but also for the values they possess which are not harvestable. The sheep program focuses on rare breeds, specifically, Wensleydale Longwools, Teeswaters and Gotlands. In addition to these three luxurious wool producing breeds, Namaste Farms runs a small flock of Champion PBA Pygora Goats as well as Grand Champion and Champion CAGBA Colored Angora and AAGBA White Angora goats.
If you are looking for geese or poultry, we are 4-H poultry leaders and passionate about our birds. Namaste Farms keeps a flock of Sebastopol geese, and a few types of game birds. We also have call ducks, and Showgirls.

Need my shepherd friends help... doe with blue bag, removed the udder, looks super good, have a problem with maggots. Gave her a shot of dectomax thinking that could help, and we fly spray every single day. I don't want to pack it and cover it because it is healing super well... ideas? We are talking about a wound the size of my entire palm... tissue is all healthy and beautiful.

There are more boxes available and can be purchased at http://www.namastefarms.com breedboxes link. They are going out tomorrow and everyone who purchased should have received a notification of shipping except Canadian purchasers. If you didn't please let me know.

May 18, 2013 at 7:15 pm Here is your name sake, "Kimberly the Bottle Fed Goat." Remember, she was raised inside with our dogs and thinks Lace is playing with her, not herding her. She cracks me up.

May 18, 2013 at 3:12 pm Lace realized that biting his head was dangerous and now, takes ahold of his shoulder when he tries to hit her. That's a mouthful of mohair she has. Of course, photo by Knottynaomi Spins!

May 18, 2013 at 3:01 pm Scrappy holding the flock. He is so good... (what you can't see is Lace is actually doing the work, she's just not in the picture.) Awesome photography from Knottynaomi Spins.

May 17, 2013 at 7:00 pm This is one of the most honest interviews i've read. I wondered why Cesar is no longer filming "Dog Whisperer." I do believe in Cesar's methods based on my experience with my flight animals (and my predatory ones). Further, Cesar airs on the same network my show will be on... please have respect, and even if you don't agree with his methods, I would appreciate you not commenting negatively. I am trying to share with you an honest and very heartfelt interview by a man who's had positive impact on my life. http://www.mensjournal.com/magazine/rescuing-dog-whisperer-cesar-millan-20130207

The world knew Cesar Millan as the 'Dog Whisperer' – the man who understood everything about the canine mind. But when it came to humans, he had a lot to learn.

Laura is one of my all time favorite spinners. I used to say that Janice Rosema had an amazing ability to put the perfect amount of twist on her lock spinning. Laura Spinner has this same ability.
