We said goodbye to one of our pigs, Miss Rosie.

Rosie was estimated to be around 10–13 years old and was one of three pigs living here at the farm. Her sister, Petal, sadly passed away a few years ago due to ovarian cancer, which is unfortunately very common in female pigs as they age.
About a year ago, Rosie had developed ovarian cancer. She had been on a medication during this time to help manage inflammation and keep her comfortable.
During a veterinary visit to check on the pigs, we performed an ultrasound on Rosie after noticing that she had […]

Kai and Suzy have both been part of our farm family for quite some time. Kai came to us extremely weak, underweight, and unwell. We’re incredibly proud of how far he has come with the care and support he’s received here.

As they’ve grown stronger, it’s become clear that the farm is no longer the right fit for these two. They need more space and more hands-on training than we’re able to provide. 

We’re happy to share that Kai and Suzy have been accepted at Second Chance Cheekye Ranch, where they’ll have the room to stretch their legs, along with the training […]

Did you know that animals need regular dental checkups too? 🐴🦷

Our horses, ponies, and donkey just had their teeth floated! During a dental float, the vet carefully examines their mouths, smooths out sharp edges, levels uneven teeth, and addresses any issues. This visit even included one extraction.

One of our oldest ponies, Snicklefritz, who is 28 years old, has hardly any teeth left! As horses age, dental care becomes even more important to keep them comfortable and able to eat properly.

For the procedure, the horses are given light sedation to keep them relaxed and safe while the vet completes the dental […]
