Rabbits are not the only animals that hop about. Lambs (baby sheep) and
kids (baby goats) like to hop about.
Adult sheep and goats sometimes hop
about also when they are happy and want to play. |

We raise French angora rabbits,
and sheep including Jacob, Shetland,
and Rambouillet
and a few angora goats. Jacob
sheep and Shetland sheep are on the American Livestock
Conservancy Conservation Priority
List. There are endangered livestock breeds just as there is
endangered wildlife. |

We have one Great Pyrenees
dog, which is our protector. |

Spiders
are spinners too! They
are orb
weavers that spin “webs” which is what weavers weave. (the woven
fabric on a loom is call “web”) Barn spiders, also known as “cat face”
spiders, hop about to catch flys
and mosquitoes that land in their webs in the barn and other buildings. |
