Farm Animals
DAIRY GOATS:
Casper (The friendly Goat) is a 7 year old pure white Mini Saanen doe with blue eyes who is very friendly with people. She is due to Kid Mar 30, 2023. Casper likely will deliver quad (4) Saanen/nigerian kids, after being bred to Picasso.
Sadie Moo is a Tri color 4 year old Registered Nubian doe . She is gentle, sweet tempered and moos like a little cow talking to her kids. Nubians are known for having the highest cream content in their milk, and being the most vocal when they are separated from their caprine friends. Sadie was bred to Picasso, our Nigerian buck, she will kid Mini Nubians some time in April 2023.
Picasso and Davinci are Nigerian Dwarf brothers. Picasso is a buckling and will be the herd sire at Rockin’ B this year. Davinci has been wethered (castrated) to be Picasso’s companion. They are 1 year old.
(Pic coming soon)
PIGS:
Francis (Frank) is a 2 year old, 700# black and white Old Spot boar. He is the biggest pig we’ve even seen, and will dance to have his back scratched! He will gently eat marshmallows out of your hand. Though he is still nervous of younger students, he is sweet and timid. (pic coming soon)
Dotty is a 500# 3 year old black and white Old spot sow. Honey Ham is a 400# 2 yr old Tamworth/Guinea hog sow, she is blonde with small spots. Both farrowed in mid May last year, Honey 13 piglets and Dotty 11. As is often the case, we lost 5 piglets in the first few days. Honey is due to farrow mid May 2023. Dotty will farrow some time in June, they are both bred to Francis
One unlikely survivor of last year’s litters was a little boar piglet that was stepped on shortly after birth by his mom Dotty. He couldn’t walk. We named him Wonder (wonder if he’ll make it?) and moved him into a dog kennel in the house for 2 months, feeding him goat milk. We brought him outside every day and the summer campers administered physical therapy, teaching him to walk (though he leaned to the right and flopped about like a salmon out of water). He is now a 200# yearling barrow (castrated) that runs with Jake and Loki, his dog brothers, paroling the ranch and looking for mischief!
(Pic coming Soon)
RABBITS:
Rockin’ B Ranch has 3 Jersey Woolie dwarf bunnies, Topaz, a buck and his 2 daughters Nibbles and Kibbles, which are available to adopt.
RODENT CONTROL:
Baileys is a 4 year old purebred Ragdoll cat and mouser extraordinaire. Her territory is predominantly the feed room and indoor arena, but she often migrates to the corrals, goat house and back 40. Baileys is shy and elusive, but all over people she trusts who sits down in the feed room! She can often be seen stalking prey too big to attack, including wild rabbits.
Patches is a calico female feline that resides in the feed room and dominates the rodent populations all over the property and in the woods. She has also taken on the role of another Ranch Greeter. (Pic coming soon)
AFTER HOURS SECURITY TEAM
Loki and Jake are the official bear-guard dogs of Rockin’ B Ranch. Loki is a 4 year old rottweiler/pit-bull cross. Jake is a 3 year old mastiff/retriever cross. They are social, but love to eat pig poop and lick kids….so we keep them in the house during camps.
