Our goal is to produce healthy naturally white and colored angora goats with fine fleece. We also strive to have our animals maintain a uniform body structure (conformation) to ensure fabulous off-spring. We are active members in the Eastern Angora Goat and Mohair Association and the American Angora Goat Breeders Association.
A picture is worth a thousand words. On the right is an example of our wonderful offspring. If you are interested in purchasing some angora goats or if you would like to learn more about this docile breed please email us or call 740-256-1866.

At Timbre Ridge Farm we have a variety of llamas. We have show quality llamas, fiber quality llamas, pack llamas, guard llamas, public relations llamas and 4H companion llamas.
We have some llamas which enjoy visiting parks and meeting people, They like going to nursing homes to provide a little TLC to patients. They look forward to going to school activities to educate students about “what it's like to be a llama”. And, they love being centers of attention at festivals such as the Bob Evans Farm Festival held every October in Rio Grande, Ohio.
Our pack gang consists of three light wool llamas which we purchased from New River LlamaTrekking. These llamas have extensive experience and mileage on various trails throughout the east and west coast. If you have any questions about llamas, just email us. Suggested Books - Click Here
At Timbre Ridge Farm we have two husky and handsome white Wensleydale wethers named Marley and Lucky, one beautiful black Wensleydale ewe named Ms. Lady, and a georgeous white ewe named Ms. Fria. They all provide us with beautiful locks that can be used for felting, spinning and doll hair. According the British Meat and Livestock Commission: "Wensleydale wool is the finest and most valuable luster longwool in the world. The Micron count is 33-35, staple length 8-12 inches and the yearling fleece weighs 13-20 pounds. The fleeces are entirely kemp free as a result of the unique characteristics of the wool-producing follicles. This special quality is genetically transmitted to cross-bred lambs, characterizing the Wensleydale ram as perhaps the leading wool improving sire in the world. Wensleydale wool is used for its special effects and handle in hand knitting yarn, knitwear and cloth and sometimes in upholstery fabrics. Because of its similarity, it is regularly used to blend with mohair." For more information about our unique sheep email us.
