Dry Creek Mini Ranch

Dry Creek Mini Ranch is home to a "Noah's Ark" of animals. So far everything we are raising is miniature - except our birds and Great Pyrenees Dogs.
(1)

Our minis include Zebu Cattle, Pygmy Goats, Miniature Horses and Donkeys for sale or trade. Dry Creek Mini Ranch is a working mini ranch with 35 acres of rolling hills, "dry" creeks, pastures, trees, and 5 ponds (two are stocked with koi and fresh catfish). Our cattle herd started with Zebu and expanded to include Shorthorns, Longhorns, and Scottish Highlanders which we are cross breeding to get

our own unique brand. While all our cattle are special, our pride and joy is Savannah - a sweet natured 34" Zebu cow that would rather sleep on the front porch than be out in the pasture with the other cattle. To tell you the truth I'm not sure she knows she is a cow. The Pygmy goats are very entertaining with the kids bouncing, running, jumping and mehing.

Got some awesome pics while replacing the ridge cap on the cabin.

Just another day… After a hard rain, dead trees roots are loosened to the point of no return. We had several that needed to come down a certain way - so as not to take out sorting pens or dog pens or outside fences or tractors or us.

This little jewel has decided that, yes, the grass is greener. However, Mom has to come get me out and she is not amused.

Dogs are so smart.

Glad this is a memory from October 28, 2017. And that it ended well.

Take for example, last night at 10. I wasn't going to make my steps goal with only 7200. Then I get a phone call telling me our cattle are out in Luray. They were a quarter mile down and across the road. Did I mention it was raining? So, I grab the feed bucket and start hollering. Thank goodness they know mom's voice. But, they were on the other side of the fence. I had to walk until I found where they got in and try to get them ALL (keyword being ALL) to follow me - down the road, in the dark. Now I was tired, but there is not too much more motivation a person might need other than Lil Red (biggest cow we have but, thankfully - no horns) and our bull, Blizzard (who hasn't missed a meal since he was born but - big horns) so close behind me I can actually feel the force of the warm air coming from their nostrils. Well, I did get them all back in and as I was walking back out to get my truck off the road and head home, I hear a SEMI coming. Oh no, my truck! After already walking this 3 times, I am now in a full out run (with my heavy muck boots on) to get to the road before this semi takes out my truck. I made it just as the driver made it to the first driveway and he did see me jumping up and down waving my arms screaming, and manage to stop just before taking my truck on its last ride. Well, anyway, there were plenty of "Ooops" moments that could've happened but the Good Lord was helping me out and I know He was behind those cattle pushing them on, and it wasn't my time. All in a days work. Cattle in. Steps goal reached 10772! Take that all you peeps on your stairmaster in the warm, dry gym. 🤓
