It’s the Animals that put the “A” in Rancho Almasomos

Meet the Animals

  • Punkin' - The Donkey

    DONKEY | 7 YEARS

    The unofficial ranch mascot, Punkin, is a spunky and affectionate donkey, who loves attention and often greets our visitors with a bray to say welcome. He was a thank you gift from the ranch crew to the founder, Kat – who has always wanted a donkey.

  • Pie - The Mini-horse

    MINIATURE PAINT HORSE | 6 YEARS

    Pie may look like a sweet little pony, but there's a lot of character packed into that miniature body. She’s a little fuzzy firecracker. Gifted by a friend of the farm to keep Punkin’ company, she was the second animal to join the ranch family.

  • Egg Brigade - The Chickens

    AMERAUCANA/SPECKLED SUSSEX | 1 Year

    This lively bunch of ranch hens are pulling double duty on the Ranch. They act as little excavators and spreaders distributing the nutrients back into the soil, and they lay some extremely tasty eggs, giving nutrients to us as well.

  • Aggie - The Brown Goat

    NUBIAN | 1 YEAR

    Aggie is the brown goat who, like her sisters, was born on a local Cornville farm. She is the Curious George of the bunch and a professional escape artist, who is always getting into mischief – like sneaking into Punkin’ and Pies pen to hang out.

  • Winnie - The Black Goat

    NUBIAN | 1 YEAR

    The black goat is Winnie. She is the second sister of our Nubian dairy goat triplets and needs to be the center of attention at all times. Queen of the pen, she is the bravest of her sisters – especially if there is food involved.

  • Gertie - The White Goat

    NUBIAN | 1 YEAR

    Rounding out our Nubian dairy goat triplets is the spotted white goat Gertie. Very shy compared to his sisters – at least until she gets to know you, and then she is all play. Her favorite thing to do is climb the climbing tower.

  • Patches - The Cow

    ANGUS/HOLSTEIN | 8 YEARS

    Hailing from northern Arizona, Patches is the hand raised gentle giant of the ranch. She loves to be scratched under her chin and can be found most days chilling out somewhere in the shade with her three goat sisters.

  • Rancho Almasomos Ranch dog

    Recon - The Ranch Dog

    BELGIAN MALINOIS | 1 YEAR

    Recon is a highly-trained ranch dog who works hard watching over the other animals in case of danger from the ranging coyotes, bobcats and other predators who would love to make one of our chickens or goats their next meal.
