Evermore Ranch
Where the storms we walk through become the stories we grow from.
Welcome to Evermore Ranch
Evermore Ranch was built in the space between storms — a place where the land, the animals, and the people tending them are part of a shared story.We are a small regenerative farm raising heritage livestock with intention, quiet stewardship, and deep respect for nature’s rhythms.Our philosophy is simple: what we walk through becomes what we grow from. The same is true of the soil, the herd, and the community we build here. Every season carries its own lesson, and every creature plays a part in it.From here, you can explore the ranch, meet the animals, learn about our practices, or step into the deeper work that grew from this land.
Life moves through this land on hooves, wings, four legs, and familiar paths.
Some animals are here to carry the future forward.
Others are here because this is home.All of them shape the living rhythm of Evermore Ranch.
Gloucestershire Old Spots
Gentle, slow-grown heritage raised on purpose and pasture.
We breed with intention. Animals are chosen not only for conformation and lineage, but for temperament, resilience, and the way they move through the land.Our Gloucestershire Old Spots program began with five registered animals who came to Evermore Ranch through the Evermore Stellar partnership with our Tampa Bay partner farm — the same thirteen year collaboration that shaped the dairy goat program here. Dual climate genetics, intentional selection, and animals proven across two environments before they ever arrived.From that foundation, three distinct programs have grown — registered breeding stock, a Red Wattle cross for the market, and a Kunekune cross for the pasture and the table. Each one built slowly, on purpose, from animals worth building from.
From the Sounder to the Pasture
Availability in this program follows the natural rhythm of gestation and season. We do not breed for volume, and we do not rush animals toward readiness they have not reached.What leaves here was raised here — from the first breath, on this land, within the rhythms that shape every animal in this program.Whether you are looking for a feeder pig to raise yourself, a pork share raised here for you, or registered breeding stock to build your own program — the conversation starts the same way. Reach out. We will talk through what you are looking for and make sure it is the right fit before anything changes hands.
Evermore Stellar Old Spots
Registered Gloucestershire Old Spots - Pure Heritage Breeding Stock
The registered Old Spots program here is part of something larger.Evermore Stellar is a thirteen year collaboration between Evermore Ranch and our partner farm in Tampa Bay — built on shared philosophy, proven genetics, and the kind of trust that grows slowly over time. The five registered animals below all came through that partnership. The first registered litter born at Evermore Ranch is expected June 2026 — the moment the program becomes fully realized on this land.Generations of animals have moved between both farms, strengthening bloodlines through environments no single place could provide alone. What leaves this program carries dual climate proof that no single farm program can produce on its own.Brandi serves on the board of the Gloucestershire Old Spots Pig Breeders United (GOSPBU) — not as a credential, but as a reflection of how deeply this breed's future matters here. Through that network, we can help match buyers with the right pairing for their specific program needs — whether that comes from our animals, a complementary line we carry, or a referral to another breeder in the national network. If you are building an Old Spots program and aren't sure where to start, that conversation is always welcome.
This is our foundation sounder:
LEELA ✦ Registered GOS · Foundation Sow · Princess Ann Bloodline · Evermore Stellar
A little spoiled and not shy about it. Leela anchors the sounder with the quiet authority of an animal who knows exactly what she is worth — which, she will remind you, includes regular belly scratches. She will not ask politely. She will simply present her side and wait. Beneath the drama is the steady, patient sow who produced the test litter that gave this program the confidence to commit. Princess Ann bloodline. Came from Tampa Bay. She is the beginning of what stands here.
DOMINO ✦ Registered GOS · Foundation Sow · Evermore Stellar
The vocal one. Domino moves through the pasture with quiet attentiveness and thoughtful calm — and then announces her presence, her opinions, and occasionally her displeasure with the clarity of someone who has decided silence is optional. Curious at heart, soft in her presence, and entirely comfortable letting the sounder know what she thinks about the day's events.
Mallory ✦ Registered GOS · Foundation Sow · Evermore Stellar
Gentle in her thinking and observant by nature. Mallory carries a quiet presence shaped by patience and awareness. She does not announce herself the way Domino does or demand the way Leela does. She simply watches, considers, and moves through the sounder with the unhurried confidence of an animal that has nothing to prove.
FRY ✦ Registered GOS · Active Boar
Evermore Stellar
If there is one thing Fry communicates without ambiguity it is that he is happy. His tail does circles. His face looks like a smile. He moves through his days with the easy, cooperative energy of a boar who has decided that life is good and there is no reason to make things difficult. Easy to work with, easy to handle, and genuinely enjoyable to be around.
Bloodline details to be confirmed and updated
MICKEY ✦ Registered GOS · Active Boar
Sambo Bloodline · Evermore Stellar
A big ole gentle giant. Mickey will follow you across a pasture if there is a bucket involved, and will arrive where you need him with the calm, cooperative manner of an animal who simply has no interest in being difficult. Sambo bloodline. Easy to move, easy to handle — the kind of boar that makes management straightforward and lets the genetics do the talking.

Evermore Farmhouse
75% Gloucestershire Old Spots · 25% Kunekune
Squiggy gave us Barbie. Barbie showed us what this cross could become.Squiggy was our much loved Kunekune boar — gentle, patient, and the sire of the test litter that proved this farm could handle what a full size heritage sow requires. His final litter with Leela produced Barbie, She stayed. She grew into a wonderful mother, just like hers. And the program that grew from that one litter became Evermore Farmhouse.
BARBIE ✦ 50% GOS · 50% Kunekune ·
Born at Evermore Ranch · Leela x Squiggy
Barbie came from the test litter — Leela's first full size sow farrowing here, sired by Squiggy in what turned out to be his final litter. She stayed because she earned it. She has grown into a wonderful mother, carrying her dam's steady, patient nature into the next generation. The Evermore Farmhouse cross program exists in large part because Barbie showed us what that cross could become.
The Kunekune influence brings something the market cross doesn't — a pig designed to graze rather than root, to move through pasture without disrupting it, and to grow slowly into some of the most deeply marbled, richly flavored pork available from a small farm program. On an Old Spots base, that cross produces an animal that is docile, efficient, and genuinely a pleasure to raise.
This is not fast pork. It is not meant to be.It is the kind of pork that makes someone ask where you got it — and then ask if they can get on the list for next time.

Evermore Market
75% Gloucestershire Old Spots · 25% Red Wattle
Opossum Queen came through the Tampa Bay meat market pig project and earned her place in the Evermore Stellar genetic program through sheer personality and presence. The 50% Red Wattle she carries became the foundation of the Evermore Market cross program — and you can see why.
The Red Wattle influence was chosen with purpose. Hardiness, depth of flavor, and a foraging instinct that means these pigs work the land rather than destroy it. On an Old Spots foundation that already brings gentleness, intelligence, and slow growth that produces real pork, the Red Wattle cross creates a market pig worth raising and worth eating.
OPOSSUM QUEEN ✦ 50% GOS · 50% Red Wattle · Evermore Stellar
Greg's buddy — and she knows it. Opossum Queen came through the Tampa Bay meat market pig project and earned her place in the Evermore Stellar genetic program through personality and presence alone. Playful by nature, quick to engage, and always aware of exactly where Greg is. She brings lightness to the sounder and the 50% Red Wattle influence that became the foundation of the Evermore Market cross program. She is the reason those feeder pigs forage the way they do.
These are not commodity animals. They are heritage pigs raised from birth on this land, handled gently, grown at a pace that serves the meat rather than the calendar. Best suited for farms and homesteads that want to raise their own food with patience, intention, and care.

Feeder boys — $225 each
Dairy Goats
Tiny hooves, big personalities, and just enough mischief to keep us humble.
There is something quietly profound about keeping dairy goats. Their milk is among the most versatile and nourishing things this land produces — rich enough to raise virtually any young mammal who needs it, gentle enough for the ones who can't tolerate anything else. It fills our bottles, feeds our babies, and finds its way into the treats and goods we make by hand. It is the reason the kids arrive strong, the reason the kitchen smells the way it does on a good morning, and the reason we keep doing this year after year.For more than fifteen years, our Mini LaManchas and Nigerian Dwarfs have shaped the rhythm of this land — their young bottle raised under oak shade, shaped by human hands from the first breath, producing milk that feeds more than just people.This is a seasoned herd built over years of careful selection. What you see here is not a collection of animals. It is a living record of intentional breeding — shaped in part through Evermore Stellar, a thirteen year collaboration with our partner farm in Tampa Bay whose influence runs through nearly every animal standing here.
Meet our Goats
From the Herd to the Homestead
All kids here are bottle raised from birth. Every animal that leaves this program has been handled daily, fed by human hands, shaped by consistent contact from their first hours. They arrive at their new home already knowing that people are safe. That foundation is part of what you're buying.Blue eye genetics run through this program from multiple lines — Barry, Jo, Indy, Stewart, Elfton, and others across fifteen years of intentional selection. Both the Nigerian Dwarf foundation line and the Evermore Stellar LaMancha line carry confirmed blue eye genetics. Many Everclusive animals carry the gene. Some show it.Animals are priced on breeding quality — the strength of the dam's udder, the depth of the sire's lineage, and the generational proof observable in the living herd around them. Registration is considered but never the primary measure of value. The proof doesn't live on paper. It lives in the animals standing here.Everclusive — $250–500
Priced individually by the eye of someone who has watched this herd for fifteen years.The dairy goat program here is woven through with Evermore Stellar genetics — through Dobbi, Boba, Stewart, and Elfton. A thirteen year collaboration between this farm and our partner operation in Tampa Bay has quietly shaped the foundation of what you see standing here. Nearly every animal carries some thread of that partnership.
FOUNDATION
Before the herd as it stands now, there were others.
Some built this program from the beginning. Some came through the Evermore Stellar partnership and shaped what this herd would become before they moved on. All of them are present in what stands here today.*
Dory — The true matriarch
The one who came before Pearl held the title. Her line runs through everything.
Admiral Havoc — Grand champion bloodline
Sire of Pearl, Sol, and Indy. His line is still producing here, eight years after Pearl was born.
Barry — Blue eyed sire
Sired Peaches and Missi. His blue eye genetics run through Missi, through Tizzy, and through Dexter. One of three bucks whose blue eye lines this program has intentionally carried forward.
Indy — Admiral Havoc's daughter. Blue eyed
Sophie's dam. Gave everything she had in her final kidding and did not survive it. Her line lives only through Sophie now.
Jo — Caramel buck. Blue eyed
Sired Brownie (Pearl x Jo). His genetics carried forward quietly through her.
Boba ✦ Evermore Stellar
Came through the partnership. Changed the shape of this herd's future. His LaMancha influence runs through Polly, Nettle, Bramble, Flint, Rhiannon, Willow, and Tizzy. Many animals he sired showed marble eyes at birth — believed to be carrier expression of blue eye genetics passed from their blue eyed dams. Gone from the farm. Not gone from the herd.
Stewart ✦ Evermore Stellar · Blue Eyed
Blue eyed. Sired Sophie and Gert. His blue eye genetics and LaMancha influence carry forward through both.
Elfton ✦ Evermore Stellar · Blue eyed
Sired the entire Fire Court LaMancha line — Hodor, Lucian, Pascal, Eos, and Lyra. Five of thirteen Fire Court kids carry his genetics and his blue eye line. His court remains.

THE HERD
The established animals. The ones who know this land by heart.
PEARL · Nigerian Dwarf · Admiral Havoc x Dory
The matriarch. Eight years of this program run through her — through her daughter Polly, through Flint, Pyrrha, Nyx, and Tizzy her granddaughter. Admiral Havoc's daughter and Dory's. She holds the center and the herd arranges itself around her. She is still here. You are welcome to see where it all began.
SOL · Nigerian Dwarf · Admiral Havoc x Dory
Pearl's full sister. One year younger, same foundation. Where Pearl holds the center, Sol moves quietly alongside her — unhurried, observant, content. She is in her last breeding season, approaching the threshold with the quiet dignity that has always been hers.
PEACHES ✦ Pasture Pretty · Nigerian Dwarf
Confident, watchful, known for rich milk and quiet authority. Her udder is the standard this program measures against. Nettle is hers. Aurora, Eclipse, and Corky are hers. What Peaches produces arrives with her energy intact and no apologies attached.
BROWNIE · Nigerian Dwarf · Pearl x Jo
Quiet, steady, reliable. Pearl's daughter by Jo — Admiral Havoc's granddaughter. Coming further into herself this season. Her contribution lives most visibly in Astra — outgoing, strong, and showed us early what she would become.
POLLY ✦ Pasture Pretty · Pearl x Boba
Pearl's daughter by Boba. Admiral Havoc's granddaughter. Openly affectionate, determined, and building the next generation steadily. Gert is hers. Bellona and Aries are hers. Pearl's granddaughter producing Pearl's great-grandchildren. That line does not thin — it deepens.
DOBBI ✦ Mini LaMancha · Evermore Stellar
Came through the Evermore Stellar partnership from Tampa Bay. She stayed. Calm, grounded, generous with her milk. Her daughters Rhiannon and Willow are in the yearling section. Lyra and Pascal are hers in the Fire Court. The Evermore Stellar program is not abstract here — it is Dobbi, standing in the pasture, doing the work.
RUCKUS ✦ Buck · Nigerian Dwarf
Independent, alert, quiet authority. His kids in the Fire Court carry his steadiness alongside their dams' distinct personalities.
DEXTER ✦ Buck · Nigerian Dwarf · Indy x Jo
Blue eyed. Admiral Havoc's grandson through Indy. Barry's son. The grand champion bloodline and blue eye genetics are both active in this breeding program through Dexter — quietly carrying both lines forward into every breeding season.
Meet our Goats
FIRST FRESHENERS
First season in milk. New voices in an established conversation
SOPHIE ✦ F1 Mini Lamancha · Indy x Stewart
Joyful, openly affectionate, with an eagerness that feels more like welcome than demand. She is the sole surviving kid from a litter of five. Her dam Indy gave everything in that final kidding and did not survive it. Sophie came into the world in the same breath her mother left it — and chose joy so completely you would never know the weight of how she arrived. Admiral Havoc's granddaughter through Indy. Evermore Stellar through Stewart. First freshening 2026.
NETTLE ✦ F1 Mini LaMancha · Peaches x Boba
Watchful, outspoken, marks every step beyond the gate with honest commentary. She is also the reason Hodor exists — she decided the breeding pen looked interesting and jumped the fence. First Freshener because she made that choice on her own terms. Her twin is Bramble. Her son is Hodor.
Meet our Goats
YEARLINGS
Coming into themselves. The next generation taking shape.
RHIANNON ✦ Mini LaMancha · Evermore Stellar · Dobbi x Boba
Soft, graceful, quietly observant. Dobbi's daughter by Boba — Evermore Stellar on both sides. Willow's older full sister.
Tizzy ✦ Mini LaMancha · Evermore Stellar · Missi x Boba
Alert and expressive — if something is happening on this farm, Tizzy knows first. Pearl's granddaughter through a returned blue eyed daughter. Boba's LaMancha influence. Admiral Havoc's grand champion line. All of it in one very expressive package.
Willow ✦ Mini LaMancha · Evermore Stellar · Dobbi x Boba
Polite, composed, steady. Rhiannon's younger full sister — same dam Dobbi, same sire Boba. Carrying that dual Evermore Stellar lineage one year behind her sister.
Gertrude ✦ Mini LaMancha · Evermore Stellar · Polly x Stewart
Last born of the 2025 kidding Season — too small to join the other kids at first, so she grew up with the poodles Joy and Freya and guardian dog Leesi instead. Pearl's granddaughter. Admiral Havoc's great-granddaughter. Stewart's LaMancha influence through the Evermore Stellar partnership. Still working out the details of being a goat. The poodles were good teachers but there are gaps.
FLINT ✦ Pasture Pretty Buck · Pearl x Boba · Evermore Stellar · Born March 2025
A soft little soul in a compact frame — gentle curiosity, calm eyes, leans into touch rather than shying away. Easy to handle, easy to love, always just a step behind you choosing connection over chaos. Pearl's son. Admiral Havoc's grandson. Boba's Evermore Stellar LaMancha influence. Full ears. Black with white spots.
Currently available — $275 · See Available Now
BRAMBLE ✦ Pasture Pretty Buck · Peaches x Boba · Evermore Stellar · Moon Spots
Nettle's twin and her quiet counterpart — where she announces, he observes. Steady, watchful, settled. Born from the same moment, shaped differently by the same world. He carries moon spots — a trait that ran through Boba's line and was never retained until him. The erect ears keep him out of the Mini LaMancha registry but not out of this program. He stays, and what he carries goes forward.
Retained for the Everclusive breeding program.
Meet our Goats
NURSERY — FIRE COURT 2026
Born in the Fire Season.
The planets gathered in Aries. The fire energy of the season held through every kidding. Thirteen kids arrived in a window that opened in the cosmos and closed on April 17th — Brandi's birthday.Each year's nursery carries its own name, its own theme, its own story.
This is Fire Court. The class of 2026.
HODOR ✦ Buckling · F2 Mini LaMancha · Nettle x Elfton · Gopher Ears · Evermore Stellar
Gatekeeper. Hold the door.
Largest of the court. First born. Gentle giant who lets go of the bottle the moment it's gone — no grudge, no drama. Still accepts kisses. Not once mean to another animal. His dam jumped a fence to make him happen. He is simply a good boy and he knows it.
LUCIAN ✦ Buckling · F2 Mini LaMancha · Sophie x Elfton · Gopher Ears · Evermore Stellar
Light-bringer. Steady warmth
Inseparable from his sister Eos — they still lay side by side at the end of every day. Wild at the bottle but settles. Assertive with smaller ones, never mean about it. Admiral Havoc's line through Sophie. Elfton's Evermore Stellar influence. Warm rather than sharp.
PASCAL ✦ Buckling · F3 Mini LaMancha · Dobbi x Elfton · Gopher Ears · Evermore Stellar
Rebirth. Renewal. Soft beginning.
Stoic, regal, arrived quietly and stayed that way. Slower start — which suits his name. Gets a little pushy at the bottle now. Goes backwards while feeding, which defies explanation. Happy boy. Content in his own presence.
EOS ✦ Doeling · F2 Mini LaMancha · Sophie x Elfton · elf Ears · Evermore Stellar
Goddess of dawn. First light.
Inseparable from her brother Lucian. Refined, dainty — would hold her pinky up at the bottle if she could manage it. Admiral Havoc's great-granddaughter through Sophie and Indy. A lot of intentional breeding arriving in a very girly package.
LYRA ✦ Doeling · F3 Mini LaMancha · Dobbi x Elfton · Elf Ears · Evermore Stellar
Constellation. Grace and rhythm.
Took her time warming up — decided on her own terms and then became quietly sweet. Also the escape artist of the court. Bold, smart, already testing every boundary. Screams Mini LaMancha in every movement. She will keep you on your toes.
BELLONA ✦ Doeling · Pasture Pretty · Polly x Ruckus · Erect Ears
Goddess of war. Controlled power.
Polly's daughter in every way that counts — warm, dainty, girly, with something a little sharper underneath. Pearl's granddaughter. Admiral Havoc's great-granddaughter. Can get naggy, but she wants things gracefully.
ARIES ✦ Buckling · Pasture Pretty · Polly x Ruckus · Erect Ears
First sign. Bold force. Identity.
Does not do things on anyone else's terms. Independent beyond just bottle hunger — genuinely has opinions. Luxury coat, soft and wavy. Will be the challenge of this court. Pearl's grandson. Admiral Havoc's great-grandson. Arrived in the sign that carries his name and has acted accordingly ever since.
AURORA ✦ Doeling · Pasture Pretty · Peaches x Ruckus · Erect Ears
Dawn. Rising light. Expansion.
Extreme Peaches energy. A lot. Knows it. Still very much a baby but the brightness is already there and it is considerable. Peaches' daughter in the truest sense.
ECLIPSE ✦ Doeling · Pasture Pretty · Peaches x Ruckus · Erect Ears
Light and shadow meeting. Balance.
Feeds, turns into a small triangle, shuts down. Content and efficient. Has one distinguishing characteristic — if you hear a high-pitched announcement from the nursery, Eclipse has something to tell you. Usually about her digestive schedule. She is regular and vocal about it.
CORKY ✦ Doeling · Pasture Pretty · Peaches x Ruckus · Erect Ears
Born with her own particular way of seeing the world
Slight head deformity. Vision impaired. Responds to her name and will find you — slowly, carefully, on her own path. Happy, healthy, unbothered by what she cannot change. She is not for sale. She is not required to be anything. She belongs here.
PYRRHA ✦ Doeling · Nigerian Dwarf · Pearl x Ruckus
Flame-colored. Visible fire
Sweet, fast, goes sideways on the fence like it's completely normal. Bolder of Pearl's two doelings. Popcorn energy. Admiral Havoc's granddaughter. Pearl's fire made visible.
NYX ✦ Doeling · Nigerian Dwarf · Pearl x Ruckus
Goddess of night. Quiet strength.
Moves through the nursery with her sister and without her volume. Sweet, quick, does the sideways fence thing with casual efficiency. Where Pyrrha announces, Nyx simply arrives. Admiral Havoc's granddaughter through Pearl.
ASTRA ✦ Doeling · Nigerian Dwarf · Brownie x Ruckus
Of the stars. Spark and movement.
Outgoing without being pushy. Approaches from the side, watches before she joins. Strong and healthy from the start. Kept because some animals show you early what they're going to become. Astra showed us.
Meet our Goats
As part of maintaining a healthy dairy herd, we raise goats with attention to balance rather than volume. Milk here is gathered seasonally and used first within our own household, with surplus shared thoughtfully as the rhythm of the herd allows. Breeding decisions are guided by temperament, maternal strength, and long-term sustainability rather than output alone.Availability follows the natural cycles of kidding and lactation, and offerings—whether milk, young stock, or companions—are limited and seasonal. Our focus remains on animals that thrive within the land and the herd, and on relationships built through patience, care, and respect for the work these goats quietly do.
What's Ready to Leave
Every animal that leaves Evermore Ranch carries something with it —
fifteen years of intentional selection, a closed herd built on quiet stewardship,
and the kind of care that doesn't stop at feeding time.
What we offer is limited by season and by what the land produces.
When something is available here, it was raised here — from the first breath.

A Note on How We Work
Availability here follows the natural rhythm of gestation, season, and what the herd produces.
We do not breed for volume. We do not rush animals toward readiness they haven't reached. And we do not place animals without conversation — because fit matters as much as interest.
If something listed here speaks to you, reach out. We'll talk through what you're looking for, answer your questions honestly, and make sure this is the right match before anything changes hands.
What leaves this land was raised with intention.
That is not a marketing phrase.
It is simply how this place operates.

Evermore Farmhouse Pork Shares
75% Gloucestershire Old Spots
25% Kunekune
Pasture Raised
Seven piglets are on the ground right now.
Born here. Raised within the rhythms of this land.
The Kunekune cross produces a deeply marbled, richly flavored pork that reflects the pasture it was raised on and the pace it was allowed to grow at. The Old Spots base adds structure, hardiness, and the gentle disposition this breed is known for.
This is a slow grown program — and that's intentional.
The Kunekune influence means these pigs grow at their own pace, on pasture, without being pushed toward a number on a scale. This is our first season offering this cross at this scale, and we are raising them the right way rather than the fast way. These animals are expected to reach processing weight at approximately 12 months or a little beyond — meaning shares will be ready for processing spring to summer 2027.
If you are looking for pork in the next few months, this is not that.
If you are looking for the best pork you have ever eaten — raised slowly, on pasture, with intention — this is exactly that.
A note on pricing:
Pork share pricing will be calculated per pound based on hanging weight at processing. Final pricing will depend on the processor we use and the weight each animal finishes at. Because this is our first year offering shares at this scale, all pricing details are still being finalized and are subject to change.
We are not collecting deposits at this time.
We are collecting names.
When the details are confirmed — processor, pricing, payment structure — waitlist members will be contacted personally with everything they need to make a decision. No pressure. No automatic commitment. Just first access.
Shares are limited to this litter.

Registered Gloucestershire Old Spots
Pure Heritage Breeding Stock
Arriving June 2026
Evermore Stellar is a collaborative breed betterment program between two independent heritage farms in different climate zones — thirteen years in the making, built on shared philosophy, proven genetics, and the kind of trust that only comes with time.
Generations of animals have moved between our farms, strengthening bloodlines through intentional epigenetic stewardship across two distinct environments. What leaves this program carries dual climate proof that no single farm can produce on its own.
Two boar lines and two to three sow lines currently maintained. Pure sows are in the breeding pen now. The first registered animal arrives June 2026.
These are not production animals.
They are foundation stock for serious heritage breed programs.
A note on who you're working with:
Brandi serves as a Board of Director for the Gloucestershire Old Spots Pig Breeders United (GOSPBU) as of 2025. When you reach out about Old Spots through Evermore Stellar, you're working directly with someone involved in the preservation, governance, and advancement of the breed itself — with access to a national breeder network that can help identify the right pairings for your specific program needs, even beyond what we carry here.
If you're building a registered Old Spots program and aren't sure where to start — this is exactly the right conversation to have.
Registered Gloucestershire Old Spots Piglets — $600–850

Everclusive Goat Kids
Nigerian Dwarf, Mini LaMancha
& Pasture Pretty Mini Milkers
This season, every kid born here stayed.
Not because there wasn't interest —
but because the land asked for them.
The Everclusive waitlist is open year round — not only for kids from upcoming kidding seasons, but for any Everclusive animal that becomes available at any time. Does, bucks, doelings, bucklings — when something is ready to leave this program, waitlist members are contacted first, before any public listing.
We are currently accepting names for the Fall 2026 kidding season. Kids from the current season have been retained as we evaluate each animal through maturity — including first udder assessment on doelings. We have not yet used our buck as a sire, and we intend to let the animals show us what they carry before any of them leave. Availability from this season may open as animals mature and are fully evaluated.
Nothing leaves before we know what it is.
What Everclusive means:
Animals from this program are priced on breeding quality — the strength of the dam's udder, the depth of the sire's lineage, and the generational proof observable in the living herd around them. Registration is considered but never the primary measure of value.
This is a fifteen year closed herd. The proof doesn't live on paper.
It lives in the animals standing here.
Pricing:
Everclusive animals are priced individually — by the eye of someone who has watched this herd for fifteen years, not by a category on a page. Every price reflects the strength of the dam's udder, the depth of the sire's lineage, and the generational proof observable in the living herd around them. Registration is considered but never the primary measure of value.
Everclusive — $250–500

Working Guardian Dog Litters
Komondor · Great Pyrenees ·
Varied Lineage · Rare Availability
On rare occasions, we raise a small litter of guardian puppies from our working dogs — animals who have lived full time with livestock, learned the rhythms of this land, and earned their place through instinct, discernment, and time.
These litters are not planned for availability.
They are planned for working farms with specific, established needs.
A guardian dog raised here arrives already knowing what livestock sounds like at night, what a fence line means, and what it feels like to be trusted with something worth protecting.
Placement is waitlist only.
We do not produce puppies for trend, demand, or general availability.
If you are building or expanding a working farm and are looking for a guardian raised from birth within an active herd — you are welcome to reach out to be considered for a future litter.

Companions
Those who belong without needing a reason.
These animals are not part of a breeding program.
They are not here to perform, produce, or become something else.Some arrived quietly and stayed.
Some earned their place through instinct, vigilance, and time.
Others never fit a category — and never needed to.They live in the margins of the farm:
between barns and fence lines,
in the pauses, the watchful hours, the long memory of place.They move between shadow and sun,
keeping watch where we cannot,
grounding the land simply by being present.Each one belongs here —
by choice, by temperament, by the work of simply remaining.
Chosen by the Land
Not bred for purpose, and never asked to be anything other than themselves. Booboo, Frankenfurter, and Emuli exist outside tidy definitions — fixtures of the farm by presence alone. They move through days at their own pace, adding rhythm, curiosity, and quiet humor to the land. Not livestock, not pets, not working toward anything. Simply part of the place, woven into the pauses, the margins, and the moments that make Evermore feel lived in.
BooBoo
Born here. Stayed forever.
Booboo was born on Evermore Ranch to a rescued mama and never left.
She is small in stature and enormous in presence — steady, curious, and entirely convinced the farm belongs to her.The fastest way to get her attention in the pasture is to call “kitty, kitty, kitty” — a reminder that despite her size and confidence, she is completely and unapologetically spoiled.
Emu-li
Tall, watchful, unimpressed
She sees everything.She stands apart from the daily rhythm of the farm, observant and alert, always aware of what’s happening — and often judging it silently.
She is not interested in fitting in, and she has no intention of explaining herself.Emu-li adds perspective. And occasionally, chaos.
Frank-N-Furter
Flash, drama, and impeccable timing.
He arrives exactly when you least expect him — announcing himself loudly and without apology.He is beauty and noise, confidence and spectacle, reminding us that not everything on a farm has to be practical to be valuable.
Sometimes presence alone is enough.
Livestock Guardian Dogs
Steady eyes, quiet boundaries, wisdom shaped by night and time.
Our guardian dogs live and work full-time with the land, the herd, and the people who tend them. Their presence is steady and deliberate — protection offered without noise, authority held without force.Most of our guardians are Komondor and Great Pyrenees blends of varied lineage, chosen not for uniformity but for instinct, discernment, and the ability to think independently while remaining deeply bonded to their work.They are not pets, and they are not on display. They are partners shaped by seasons, routine, and trust — reading the dark as easily as the daylight, holding quiet boundaries through long nights, and carrying a kind of wisdom that only comes from time spent watching while others sleep.
Leesi
Raised with a closer circle, she is often the one seen — the bridge between the dogs, the herd, and the people who come through this land. She reads energy before movement, settles where trust feels right, and does her work without needing distance to do it. Gentle with those who belong, unwavering when something feels off, Leesi reminds us that discernment and connection are not opposites — they are partners.
Occasional Working Litters
On rare occasions, we raise a small litter of guardian puppies. These litters are planned only when there is an established waiting list of working farms seeking a dog raised with livestock from the start.Puppies are placed intentionally, with an emphasis on instinct, environment, and long-term fit. We do not produce puppies for availability, trend, or demand.
Farm Cat Project
Working cats. Thoughtful placement. Clear limits.
Evermore Ranch has a long history of caring for cats in need. In our earlier years we operated as a rescue — taking in kittens, providing rehabilitation, and thoughtfully placing cats into environments where they could thrive. Those years shaped how this project exists today.The Farm Cat Project is not an open intake rescue. It is a small, intentional program built around temperament, proper placement, and the responsibility that comes with helping animals well — not just quickly. Knowing when to say yes matters. Knowing when to say no protects the animals and the integrity of the work.Right now we are at capacity — caring for our permanent sanctuary residents alongside a new litter of kittens who arrived needing hands-on neonatal care. We are doing the work. If you want to support it, there is a way to do that below.
SUPPORT THE PROJECT
For those who cannot adopt but want to help.
Not everyone is in a position to adopt. Sponsorship offers a meaningful way to support the Farm Cat Project while honoring the limits that keep the program healthy and sustainable.
Monthly sponsorships help cover the ongoing costs of care for the sanctuary residents — feed, flea prevention, annual vaccinations, and routine veterinary care. Right now that includes six permanent residents plus Echo and the Boat Litter in active neonatal care.
We are currently pushing our limits. The support matters.→ Support the Farm Cat Project through the Everclusive Membership —

The Farm Cat Project exists because experience taught us that good intentions are only the beginning. Thoughtful structure, clear limits, and respect for the animals are what allow this work to last.
The Evermore Pride
The permanent cats of Evermore Ranch. Home is where they landed — and where they stay.
These cats are not passing through. They are not available. They chose this land — or this land chose them — and they stayed. Some arrived as kittens and grew into the farm. Some earned their place through instinct and time. Some came through the adoption program and simply never found the right fit elsewhere — and then we looked around one day and realized the right fit was here all along.
They are mousers, watchers, fence-sitters, and barn shadows. They are permanent. They are the Evermore Pride.
Sponsoring a Pride cat means contributing directly to their care — food, veterinary visits, preventative treatments, and the daily quiet cost of keeping animals well. It also means becoming part of the Everclusive membership community, where sponsors get first access to farm updates, litter announcements, and content from across the Evermore universe before it goes public.
Details at the bottom of this page.
MOOSE ✦ Spokescat · Permanent Resident · Available for Sponsorship
The spokescat of Evermore Ranch — though he has never needed words to prove his worth. A phenomenal mouser and constant presence, Moose has earned his permanent place through instinct, consistency, and an uncanny sense of exactly where he is needed. He is the face of this farm for good reason. He was here before most things. He will be here after.
WALDO ✦ The Elder · Permanent Resident · Available for Sponsorship
Thirteen years old and still steady. Waldo is deeply rooted in the rhythm of this farm — a quiet constant who has seen more seasons than most. His presence is subtle but grounding, the kind that only comes with time. He does not move quickly anymore. He does not need to. He has already earned everything.
BARNI ✦ The muscle· Permanent Resident · Available for Sponsorship
Young, agile, alert, and always where the work is happening. Barni moves with confidence and purpose — quick to respond, quicker to adapt. He earns his place through action rather than noise, every single day. The farm's young muscle and a permanent fixture of it.
WOOKI ✦ The Elusive One · Permanent Resident · Available for Sponsorship
Wookie is the quiet presence of the farm — rarely in the center of things but always aware of them. She watches from edges and rooftops, moving only when it matters, and reminding us that not everything needs to be loud to be powerful. She is on her own terms. She has always been on her own terms.
KATIE ✦ Permanent Resident
Available for Sponsorship
Katie came through the adoption program and stayed — not because no one wanted her, but because time and circumstance revealed that this is where she belongs. She is settled here in a way that matters. Moving her now would ask more of her than is fair. She is home.
BUTTERBEAN ✦ Permanent Resident
Available for Sponsorship
Confident and independent — Butterbean has always known what she is and what she needs. She came through the program, assessed the situation, and made her decision. She stayed. She is best suited to exactly the environment she is already in.
BLUEBERRY ✦ Permanent Resident
Available for Sponsorship
Quiet, observant, and reliable. Blueberry prefers space and routine and has found both here. She thrives in working environments and has built her rhythm around this one over time. Like the others, her age and her roots here make this the right place for her.
Each member of the Evermore Pride has earned their place here — through instinct, time, or simply the quiet certainty that this is where they belong. Their care is ongoing and consistent: quality food, preventative veterinary treatment, flea and parasite protection, and the daily attention that keeps working farm cats healthy and settled over the long term.
Sponsoring a Pride cat connects you directly to that care. Through the Everclusive membership you become part of the inner circle of Evermore Ranch — receiving farm updates, animal news, litter announcements, and content from across the Evermore universe before it reaches the public. Your contribution doesn't reserve a specific cat or change their placement — it simply ensures they are cared for well, for as long as they call this land home.
The Everclusive membership and sponsorship tiers are launching shortly. In the meantime reach out directly if you'd like to be among the first to support the Pride.
THE BOAT LITTER
Five kittens. A warm day. The right person at the right moment.
A mama cat had her kittens near a boat. The boat owner did what made sense — left them safely in a box in the area so she could claim them and move them to a new nest when she was ready. He went on with his day.
Hours passed. The box grew warm in the heat. Mama hadn't come back.
Someone noticed. Someone stayed. Someone made the call.
The kittens came to Evermore Ranch barely open-eyed, overheated, and completely dependent. They have been bottle fed, bathed daily, and coaxed through the slow patient work of becoming cats. They are learning to eat. They are growing. They have names now.
They are not ready yet. When they are — truly ready — they will leave here knowing they were cared for from the very beginning.
SAGE ✦ Long Haired Grey · Female
Staying at Evermore Ranch
The little grey one. She arrived with the others and she is staying with the others — permanently. Sage already belongs here. Some animals make that clear early. She did.
SHAEFER ✦ Short Haired Black · Male
Spoken For
The short haired boy. He has a home waiting. He just doesn't know it yet.
CHARLIE ✦ Long haired Black· Male
Available for Adoption
Greg named him. That tells you most of what you need to know about how Charlie operates — he found his person before he even had a chance to find a home. Sociable, present, the kind of kitten who makes himself known. Long haired, black, and looking for the right place to land.
EMBER ✦ Long haired Black · Female
Available for Adoption
Dark and quiet in that particular way that long haired black cats tend to be — watching, considering, occasionally deciding you have been approved. She has someone looking at her. Nothing confirmed yet.
SAFFRON ✦ · Medium/Fringe Coat Tortoiseshell · Female · Available for Adoption
A tortoiseshell with a fringe coat that catches the light in the particular way tortoiseshells do — fire and shadow and earth all at once. She is still becoming herself. She has time. Her name was chosen to call to her rather than label her.
The kittens are not ready yet — but if Charlie, Ember, or Saffron are speaking to you already, reach out now. We will have a brief conversation about your home and what you're looking for, and when the time comes you will already know if the fit is right. Early conversations are welcome. Placement decisions are always guided by what serves the animal.
ECHO
She came here carrying more than anyone knew.
Echo came to us needing a safe place to land. Within a few days of settling in she lost three kittens — quietly, the way these things sometimes happen when an animal has been carrying stress longer than anyone realized.
Nearly two weeks later she delivered one more. That kitten was small and fought hard and stayed for several days before she couldn't hold on.
Echo did everything right.
She is recovering now — in her last week before vetting, being cared for without pressure or expectation. What comes next for her is still open. She may find a home. She may find that this is already it.
If Echo speaks to you reach out. She will need a patient, quiet home that understands she has been through something and is still finding her footing. There is no pressure and no rush — for her or for you. We will have a gentle conversation about what she needs and what you have to offer, and we will know together whether the fit is right.
She is not ready to leave yet. But the right conversation can start now.
ADOPTION
The ones still looking for their place.
Adoption through the Farm Cat Project is donation-based rather than fee-based. Contributions help offset the cost of veterinary care, preventative treatments, and daily needs for the cats currently in the program. Placement decisions are guided by fit and safety first — adoption is never treated as a transaction.
Currently available when ready:Charlie — long haired black male — sociable, present, Greg approved
Saffron — tortoiseshell with fringe coat — still becoming herself, worth the wait
Ember — long haired black femaleCurrently in recovery:Echo — awaiting vetting — future openNot yet ready:
The Boat Litter is approximately 3–4 weeks old. They are on bottle and mush, bathed daily, growing steadily. They will not be ready for placement for several more weeks. We will let you know when the time comes.Because the farm is protected by guardian dogs, we are only able to intake kittens — not adult cats. Adult cats cannot safely acclimate to the guardian dog presence in the way kittens can. This is a firm limit that protects both the cats and the working dogs already here.

Care in Practice
Care at the ranch is not reactive. It is planned, consistent, and shaped by systems that protect animal wellbeing over time.Every decision — from breeding schedules to intake limits — is made with long-term health, safety, and sustainability in mind. This approach allows animals to receive steady, thoughtful care without urgency, overextension, or unnecessary intervention.
Early-Life Care & Neonatal Support
When animals are born here, their care is never improvised.Established neonatal care protocols are in place before kidding and farrowing seasons begin. These include structured monitoring, bottle-feeding systems when required, and safe milk storage practices that allow for calm, effective response when additional support is needed.Preparation — not urgency — is the foundation of early-life care on the ranch.
Biosecurity & Care Boundaries
Protecting animal health requires more than good intentions — it requires limits.Clear biosecurity practices are maintained to reduce risk, prevent cross-contamination, and support stable herd health. Outside animals are not introduced casually, and intake decisions are always weighed against the safety of animals already here.Rescue situations, when they occur, are handled thoughtfully and within strict limits. This is not an open-intake facility. Sustainable care depends on knowing when to say no.Boundaries are not a lack of compassion — they are how care remains ethical and effective.
Seasonal & Farm Rhythms
Life on the ranch follows natural rhythms.Breeding, birthing, growth, and rest all happen within seasonal cycles that honor both the animals’ needs and the land’s capacity. Not every season is a production season, and not every animal holds the same role year to year.By working with these rhythms rather than against them, the ranch supports healthier animals, steadier outcomes, and a more sustainable system overall.Care here is not rushed — it is lived.
About Evermore Ranch
Evermore Ranch did not begin with a business plan or a vision board.
It began the way most things worth building do — with a lifetime of paying attention, following what mattered, and refusing to stop learning.
This is a working farm rooted in responsibility, respect for animals, and the understanding that care is more than love. It is consistency, preparation, and knowing where limits are necessary. Every program here is intentionally limited, shaped by decades of experience, and designed to remain sustainable for the animals, the land, and the people caring for them.
What you find here is not the result of a few good seasons. It is the result of a life spent in service to animals across virtually every species, discipline, and environment — quietly building the knowledge, the network, and the judgment that now shapes every decision made on this land.
The People Behind the Ranch
This work is carried by people who live it every day. Care here is hands-on, experience-driven, and grounded in long-term responsibility to both the animals and the land they steward.
Brandi
Founder · Primary Care & Program Steward
Brandi's work with animals began in childhood — not as a hobby, but as a calling that never redirected.
She began in wildlife rehabilitation, earning her permit and working with wild species through the years when most people are still figuring out who they are. That foundation — learning to read animals who cannot speak for themselves, assessing need without anthropomorphizing, responding to instinct rather than assumption — shaped everything that followed.
From wildlife, the work expanded. She trained dogs from a young age, eventually spending fifteen years breeding German Shepherds with the care and intentionality that serious breeding demands. It was through that work that Evermore Stellar the partnership with Alexandra of Stellar Game Birds, Poultry, Waterfowl LLC in Tampa Bay was born — a collaboration now in its thirteenth year that has shaped the genetics of both the dairy goat and registered Old Spots programs at Evermore Ranch.
Along the way, Brandi pursued formal education in animal behavior and temperament assessment — not through a single degree program, but through the kind of self-directed, immersive learning that produces genuine expertise. She trained with some of the most respected names in the field, including attending events where both Sue Sternberg and Dr. Ian Dunbar presented. With Sue Sternberg she went further — completing multiple training ride-alongs, learning her methodology firsthand in real environments, developing the kind of applied understanding that only comes from working beside someone who has dedicated their life to the same questions.
Her formal training includes certification in Meet Your Match — Sue Sternberg's nationally used adoption placement program — Puppy Aptitude Testing using the Volhard Method, and a third shelter-specific temperament assessment program designed for behavioral evaluation in rescue environments. These methodologies now inform how every animal at Evermore Ranch is evaluated, placed, and managed — from goat kids to guardian dogs to farm cats.
Brandi served as a founding board member of the Central Alabama Rabbit Club and previously held board positions with regional rabbit organizations. She currently serves on the board of the Gloucestershire Old Spots Pig Breeders United (GOSPBU) — a reflection of her commitment to breed preservation, not simply production.
She operated as a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for many years and founded and ran a nonprofit animal rescue organization — experience that shaped the Farm Cat Project and the biosecurity and intake standards that protect every animal currently in her care.
Beyond the farm, Brandi's work extends into writing, art, and ceremony. She is the author of the Stormwalker series, the creator of the Be More art program, and the officiant behind Happy Evermore After — a life ceremonial service for those standing at meaningful thresholds. These are not separate projects. They are expressions of the same person, the same philosophy, and the same commitment to showing up fully for what matters.
Her approach to animal care balances compassion with structure — ensuring animals receive thoughtful care without burnout, chaos, or overextension. Temperament, environment, and long-term wellbeing guide every decision made here.
Greg
Operations · Infrastructure & Livestock Handling
Greg and Brandi have been partners in the care of animals since 1997.
Not employees. Not collaborators who found each other later. Partners — in the fullest sense — who have shared the work, the learning, the losses, and the seasons of this life together for nearly thirty years.
The ranch as it exists today was not built by one person. It was built by two people who have been showing up for the same animals, the same land, and each other since before Evermore Ranch had a name.
Greg is the steady backbone of the ranch's daily operations — the one quietly fixing, building, hauling, handling livestock, and stepping in wherever things don't go according to plan. He maintains fencing, infrastructure, and the physical systems that keep everything running safely. He assists with livestock movement, hands-on farm work, and the ten thousand small things that never make it into a description but without which nothing else functions.
He also has an uncanny ability to form relationships with the animals that resist forming them with anyone else. Opossum Queen is Greg's buddy and she knows it. The animals read him — and what they read is someone who has been doing this long enough that there is nothing to prove and nothing to perform.
Whether it's repairing a broken gate at the wrong hour or sprinting after an escaped piglet at the least convenient moment, Greg brings steadiness, humor, and an unwavering commitment to the work that sustains both animals and land.
Nearly thirty years of partnership. Still showing up. Still steady.
A NOTE ON HOW THIS PLACE OPERATES
Evermore Ranch exists in the space between rescue and production — where ethics, practicality, and stewardship meet.
We are not an open-intake rescue. We are not a volume-driven breeding operation. We are a small, intentional program built around genetics, animal psychology, and long-term wellbeing — guided by what supports healthy animals over time, not by urgency, trend, or outside pressure.
Every program here is shaped by the same principle: doing fewer things well is better than doing many things poorly.
The animals here are known. Their lineages are documented. Their temperaments are assessed. Their placements are considered. Nothing leaves this land without a conversation, and nothing arrives without one either.
Care here is shaped by experience, education, and the humility to keep learning.
That has been true since 1997.
It will be true long after this page is read.
If something here resonates and you find yourself wanting more — Reflections from the Evermore Path is where the deeper writing lives. No schedule. No algorithm. Just something worth saying when there is something worth saying.

Evermore Stellar
Two Farms, Two Climates, One Shared Vision
In 2013, two farm worlds crossed paths without realizing how deeply their stories were about to intertwine.I was here at Evermore Ranch. Alexandra was at Stellar Game Birds in Florida. We had followed each other's work from a distance for a while when I saw her searching for a German Shepherd puppy. At the time, I was in puppy watch with our second litter.I already knew enough about her to know it was a good home.Captain Murphy was my pick of that litter, and I sent him home with Alexandra.That was the beginning.
The Dogs
By the third litter, we'd merged the program. Evermore German Shepherds and Stellar Game Birds became Evermore Stellar German Shepherds, producing and placing puppies together for nearly a decade.As the original shepherds — and honestly, I — started aging, we found ourselves paying closer attention to livestock guardian dogs. We'd owned Great Pyrenees for years and still had Lucy, but Hank was different. Hank was a Komondor, and the seriousness he brought to his work changed the way we looked at guardian dogs entirely.Then the universe stepped in with impeccable timing.We ended up with a litter of Komondor / Great Pyrenees puppies from two white purebred parents — except one puppy was black and another was spotted. While other breeders were telling me to hide the odd ones, Alexandra and I disappeared down a rabbit hole trying to understand exactly where those genetics came from.A few carefully planned test litters later, we confirmed that both original dogs may have carried hidden black genetics — but Hank absolutely did. More importantly, we saw his extraordinary work ethic carry through generation after generation.Those dogs still guard both our farms today, along with several others.Now Alexandra has an AKC health-tested Komondor pair of her own, and I cannot explain how excited I am for the next chapter of that program.The dog story was never a closed chapter. It's still being written.
The Goats, the Pigs, the Birds
The partnership grew far beyond dogs.I introduced Alexandra to goats, and together we fell deeply in love with the Mini LaMancha for the homestead. The Mini LaMancha project remains the longest-running active chapter of our partnership. Together we continue shaping strong, functional animals with the hardiness and resilience every breed deserves for long-term longevity.She introduced me to Gloucestershire Old Spots. Old Spot pork has become one of the deepest shared projects between our farms.Poultry has always been her domain.Alexandra Doss — known publicly as the Quail Lady — is a poultry scientist with more than eighteen years working with poultry, the published author of multiple books on Coturnix husbandry, and a regular contributor to Mother Earth News, Grit, and Chicken Whisperer Magazine.Her work in waterfowl, game birds, and heritage poultry became one of the foundational pillars of this partnership.Each of us led where we were strongest.
Each of us learned from the other.That's what makes a partnership last.
Captain Murphy, again
In July of 2019, when Captain Murphy was six years old, he saw an alligator coming for Alexandra and put himself between them.He suffered a fractured leg, deep lacerations, and multiple procedures during recovery.We raised funds together. I made the long drive to Florida. The backup plan — if local treatment became impossible financially — was to bring him home to Evermore Ranch for recovery and continue treatment from here.But Alexandra worked miracles on top of what the community raised, and we were able to keep him close to home where recovery would be easier on him.The dog that brought us together had become the dog who saved her.We took care of him together.He came home a hero.
The Book
Alexandra was already a published author long before I ever considered writing my own work.When she began writing The Quail Lady's Guide to Raising Coturnix on the Homestead, she asked me to create the illustrations.That book now sits on shelves with both our names on it.And honestly, that process changed my life more than either of us probably realized at the time.The slow work of illustrating someone else's voice taught me to believe I might have a voice worth sharing too. Watching Alexandra write — watching what writing can do — planted the first real seeds of confidence that eventually became Stormwalker.This partnership produced one published book together.But it also helped build the foundation for an entire library still unfolding.
Where We Are Now
Two farms. Two climates. One shared vision.Mini LaMancha kids dropping every spring. Old Spot litters. Coturnix research at Stellar Game Birds. Heritage poultry moving between our farms for more than a decade. A book in print together — and now my own book, Stormwalker, beside it.Where there was once one writer, now there are two.The Evermore Hearth — the highest tier within Evermore Gathering — is the formal seat at this fire.When we created it, we wanted people to understand what they were truly supporting. Not simply one farm, but a thirteen-year partnership built on shared work, shared learning, and a vision that continues growing year after year.Sit closest to the fire.
