We also have quite a few outside birds, some of which we acquired from rescues, and some that came from situations where their owners passed away.  Some are kept in large outside flights, and others free range and are locked up at night to keep them safe from predators. They are very healthy and span all ages, some are seniors. We feed a variety of different foods along with fresh greens, and vegetables in season that we grow organically here on the farm.  I feel the birds get bored with the same feed everyday, so I know they appreciate the extra variety.
Please help sponsor the following:

     "Zeffel" is a senior red and white Pot Bellied Pig.  He sleeps most of the time, but will venture out to root and graze on the grass.  He has arthritis in his shoulder and is on medications, but he is a very sweet boy who enjoys the peacefulness of the farm. 

     Daisy Mae is a one-year-old Potbelly Pig.  Daisy came to the farm in early winter of 2006 because her owners could no longer keep her.  She just grew too big and became too destructive for their home.   Daisy was very well cared for, but is a little spoiled and demanding.  However, she is learning that she is a pig and is working very hard trying to get along with the other two pigs.  Any chance she gets, she is up at the house begging for a pig cookie. Daisy is a very sweet girl who loves to show off her tricks, such as sitting up. Yes, you read it right, this piggy can sit up!

Goats here at the Shannon Foundation have a great life!  They graze on rolling pastures, wade in the creek,

and lounge on the bluffs overlooking the valley, soaking up the sun.

     "Amanda", a Nubian goat, came here from a dairy farm.  Since she could not be bred and could not produce milk, she was no longer needed.  However, she was one of the lucky ones, and now enjoys the good life!  She is healthy, very sweet and enjoys wandering all over the farm. 

     "Betty" is a Pygmy goat who came from Grant's Farm and was adopted by her previous owner.  However, when her owner moved to Australia, she found her new home here with us, and she seems to love it.  Betty is healthy, sweet, and is doing very well.

     "Boop", a Pygmy goat, is Betty's daughter and is a little on the wild side. She was never handled as a youngster, so she is a little "standoffish," But she loves to run free (and especially likes to run with the horses).
