We are so happy to have Little Bully – the mini angus bull and Angel – the friendliest sheep safely back in their pens. The pair were found in southwest Detroit. The newborn calf and Nubian goat were unfortunately not found.

Thank you to the Detroit Police’s 11th and 12th precincts, Fox Channel 2 News, ClickOnDetroit Channel 4 News, WXYZ Channel 7 News, contributors to the Finders Fund, and all that have been on the lookout for our animals. We deeply appreciate everyone who has been part of this rescue.

Please consider contributing to the Pingree Farms gofundme to help find the newborn calf and Nubian goat. https://gofund.me/fefb556f

Police in Southwest Detroit spent the morning trying to corral a loose cow and sheep that were roaming the area following a crash.

Update: Angel – the friendliest sheep, Little Bully – a miniature angus bull are home safe in their pens.

Sadly, cherished animals were stolen from Pingree Farms on February 8th 2024. The animals include Angel – the friendliest sheep, Little Bully – a miniature angus bull, a newborn calf and a Nubian goat. Each of these animals play a role in our 4-H program with Detroit’s youth. We at Pingree Farms are doing our best to stay hopeful that our animals will be found and will come home to us. If you have any information on our missing animals please contact us or the Detroit Police.

All contributions in this fund will go directly to finding our missing animals and keeping our other animals safe and fed. Thank you in advance for supporting Pingree Farms.

Pingree Farms located at 7 mile & I-75 is a small non-profit community farm based around educating the community and through local schools. Unfortunately, we've had to deal with some livestock thieves. We would like the animals returned unharmed. There is a small reward but if the perpetrators will just return the animals or leave them in an accessible location out of harms way then they won't have to deal with the repercussions.

The rest of the bulls have been acting odd ever since "Little Bully" was abducted, said Aaron Hale with Pingree Farms.

Good Evening Everyone,

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of one of our oldest Pingree Farms resident of nine years.

Thumper was a prized agility champion and a loyal companion to many.💙

He finished his race @11:50am this morning. 💙

He was not alone during his transition, he was surrounded by loving friends and family💙.

We thank you all for your love and support during this difficult time of loss.💙

Although no longer by our side, you will always remain in our hearts🕊️
We love you Thumper🥹💙
