Late in the afternoon of Sunday, 19 February 2023 we received a call about a kid goat who was in desperate need of help. Information about exactly what was wrong with the kid was limited, all we knew was that she was 5 weeks old, not drinking well and was unable to stand. We were…

My name is Eddie.  I was born on a cattle farm in September 2022. Unfortunately, the farm owners found me the next day and, thinking I had sustained a crush injury, brought me to stay in their back yard. Sadly, they did not seek veterinary treatment for me at the time. At around 4 months…

My name is Junior.  In 2023 I will turn 15 years old. My life before coming to Cranky’s FARM wasn’t very good.  I was treated badly, tied up and fed dog food mostly.  I lived on a few properties but always seemed to find myself in bad situations.  Thankfully, a kind lady who lived next…

Diego is our one and only rooster.  Despite being on 60 acres, the sanctuary is only allowed to home one rooster due to council laws. Diego was born with a defect which rendered him incapable of standing on his legs.  Both his legs would splay outwards when he would try to stand and walk.  With…

There are three ducks that call Cranky’s FARM home, Frank, Guy (who is a girl) and Storm.

They were found living in a tiny enclosure with no access to water in the middle of summer. They are…

RIP Little Chicky. Our sweet little girl passed away in August 2022 after undergoing major surgery to remove a large mass from her abdomen.

My name is Jonny. Not that much is known about my past but at best guess I was born in 2012 and I am a miniature pony.   Unfortunately, what has lead me to now call Cranky’s FARM home is not a happy tale but I am hoping that with the lots of love and attention…

My name is Missy and I am a very friendly goat. I originally was saved by an elderly couple who hand-raised me but as I grew older and more boisterous they had to send me to live with another family. There I was loved and cared for and I really loved hanging out with their…

My name is Peggy.  I was born in October 2020 and I am a Brahman heifer. Sadly, my life started on a feedlot where my mother was being fattened before being sold. I was taken and hand raised but had an accident at 6 weeks old and my leg was broken. My injuries were treated…

My name is Sweet Pea and I’m a currently a tiny, little pig. I was bred and my destiny was to be advertised and sold as ‘Spit Meat’ at between 3-6 months old. As  it turns out though I was, instead, saved by Cranky’s FARM! I was born on the 26th of June 2021.  When…

My name is Rayne. I am a Bradford, which is a cross between a Hereford and a Brahman. The people at Cranky’s FARM weren’t expecting me, but I surprised them by arriving late at night on the 11th of January 2021. Apparently my mum, Fiona, was pregnant with me when she arrived at Cranky’s FARM…
