* Rocky Ridge Ranch/Triple R Caprines is a raw milk farm; we maintain our licensing with ISDA as a Certified raw milk producer in Idaho. Products must be picked up at the farm.
Follow our Rocky Ridge Ranch Facebook page! This is the first place that we post information regarding sales of livestock; We currently have one ADGA registered Nigerian Dwarf buck available. Also ADGA registered alpines; doelings and milkers. All of our adult herd has been tested for CAE/CL/Johnnes diseases with records available. We have 2022 wethers (horned) that are ready for you to begin pack-training. Reservations are now being taken for March 2023 kids.
The Barnyard
Our ranch began when we first met a llama at the county fair. We were taken in by how tall they were, and by how calm they were. We made some inquiries, and soon my kids were enrolled in the 4H program showing llamas! Shortly thereafter, we acquired our first llama, Indian Peaks Trident, at a silent auction during a llama show. Suddenly, we were the owners of ‘livestock’. We couldn’t keep him at our house in the suburbs, so we looked into property. That led to a 5 acre ranchette in Elizabeth, Colorado. Within the first year, we added more llamas and chickens. We found a nice 35 acre parcel close by, but soon realized that with the scarcity of water and constant drought conditions in Colorado, we would need to relocate.
In 2017, we decided that it would be great fun to live closer to more of our family. We have recently re-located to a property in Nampa, Idaho. A big change, we have 7 acres to play with.
Our family is conscious of the foods we eat and where they come from; this led us into the goat world. We did a little searching and found out the many benefits to owning our own dairy goats. We now milk at least 5 does a year, make our own cheeses and goat milk soap! Becky is experimenting with all kinds of Goat Cheese recipes; the family favorite is Goat Cheese Truffles and a pound cake made with goat cheese! Roy is a chocolatier and baker of exquisite creations that are delicious!
What Do We Do
The barnyard leads to many other fun activities. Becky was a 4H leader in Elbert & Douglas Counties in Colorado, and a supervisor in Ada County for the camelid project. She led a local community club, as well as the Llama & Alpaca project group and Heritage Arts projects. As the kids aged out of 4-H, now she is focusing on her handmade soap business, Raindancer Soaps, sold via this link: http://raindancersoaps.com
Coming soon: We are taking some time to renovate and repair the property, and hope to be geared up by Summer 2023 for our Agritourism endeavors! Check back for updates! Farm tours and internships may be available. If your small group would like to schedule a tour, please contact us for rates and availability. Check out the ‘Tours’ page for information.
