LET’S BUILD! SAVE THE DATE!
Put Saturday, June 13, 2026 on your calendar and let’s get together to raise the roof on our new shelter! No experience necessary, just a desire to help the animals and a willingness to put in a few hours of work. Easy, Peasy!! We’re going to put this new parcel to its best use ever. More details to come soon, but remember, SAVE THE DATE!!

NEWEST INTAKE
These nice ladies brought “Big Daddy” to live at Barnyard because he was taking quite a whoopin’ at his former home. They did their homework and found him a safe place here. They also brought a car full of goodies too! Welcome home Big Daddy.

A VOLUNTEER PRISONER!
This gate was tied open so the dingbats could eat the green. Somehow it got untied (likely culprit, a rubbing goat) and this supreme dingbat was left inside. I actually saw her last night when I was fighting, I mean feeding, the horses. There’s not a gate on that side and surely she’d push the gate and get out. Right?? I even made sure there was water in the pen just on the off chance that she didn’t find her way out. This morning, there she is, still “locked in!” I wish the horses were this easy to convince to stay in!

EVERY BARNYARD NEEDS AT LEAST ONE ZEN COW!
For some reason, chaos reigned at the Sanctuary today. Horses, goats, roosters, all crazy all day. Frustrated me to no end. But then there’s sweet Natasha, a bit of quiet in the storm. She just makes eye contact and suddenly it is difficult to stay flustered. She is always level, gentle, and kind. Love this big girl.

DAY 5, ALL GOOD
The mini-zebu baby born 5 days ago with the bent legs is looking great and struttin’ her stuff. Her little legs have almost completely straightened out. See, no need to worry. No intervention, just a good Mama, safety, and exercise. It’s almost always this way, resolves on its own. Straight and strong, happy baby! Now if the stinkin’ mosquitos would go away!!!

LAZY DAY NAP TIME!

KEEP IT COMIN’ LORD!!
Overnight we enjoyed a long, steady, soaking rain. Big thunder but no damaging winds, thank goodness. This morning, the gift of wet just keeps on giving. Sweet cool front, roaring thunder and heavy, happy, hooray rain! Can’t wait to check the total. Hopefully this will teach the greedy biskits around here that they can only charge locals $135 per bale of hay for just so long. The rains will come and we WILL remember! More, please!

OUR COMMUNITY IS AMAZING

This kind couple saw our post about the tree-tastrophe and responded by helping us fix it! They saw our mangled horse panel and realized that the sturdy panels that they had leaning idly on their property would be of great use to Barnyard Sanctuary. So they brought them to us!! Along with a nice gate and a big goat hutch. Such thoughtfulness and generosity is what has made Barnyard Sanctuary possible for all of these many years. We can only help the animals of our area with the help of great folks like this selfless couple and YOU! I am always amazed at the strength and resourcefulness of our community. Thank you,thank you, thank you.
