Mamie requires back massages when kitchen chores are being done; even a brief lapse will set her off with shrill barking and yelling so loud it is beyond any human’s ability to bear.

The magic of Santa Claus … our animals ADORE Santa, and every year they get to write to him with their wishes. Cosmo the goat was able to ask in person last year ❤️🎅

Be ready…….. the Santa Letters are coming. It’s only a week away! Their letters will appear here every day starting December 1, but you can also see them ***before everyone else*** by subscribing to receive each day’s letter in your inbox: https://santa.stargazingfarm.org/

Sweet Bruno. He was at an auction facing the unthinkable when, miraculously someone saved him. Living at this farm has not only taught him self confidence, it’s also taught him a few of the “goat tricks.” He’s got only one eye but apparently this does not stop him from navigating to “The Source” - the door whence all food emanates 🤣

Sheep are such wonderful cooperative creatures. If these were goats, 2 would be standing right on top of the hay, 2 would be trying to knock them off and the fifth would be grabbing as much food as possible 🤣

Get some cows, they said. They’ll be cute and cuddly, they said. Your life will be enriched. Oh sure, you might have a few repairs here and there….

Copper adores Al, but it’s clear who’s in charge in this relationship 💕🐇

New hoodies have arrived in new colors! It’s getting chilly out there- why not keep warm and support our animals in style? We don’t do a lot of “swag” but these hoodies will be pretty darn handy as we move from fall into winter. ❄️🥶

Four different species, all a team. Except maybe Marguerite, who has her face buried in the food even though everyone else has spotted something important 🤦‍♀️🦙

Ray Ray is home from the hospital! He’s doing really well. He has to be in a stall for a few days to make sure that his incision closes. He’s not entirely happy because the doctor said no more cookies, no more treats, no more grain! Only grass and hay. That’s because he had a urinary blockage and stones are much more likely to form again if he has any protein or rich foods. He’ll just have to get a lot more kisses and loving. Many thanks to New Bolton Center for the amazing job they always do. And thanks to everyone who donated to help with his hospital expenses. We didn’t quite reach our goal, but there’s still time! https://givebutter.com/rayray-medical

Just a regular morning in the sun with Tapioca, Madhiba and Oliver the vulture standing sentry.
