*** Mr Eight passed away on Tuesday, 2 April 2024.  Mr Eight lived a full life surrounded by his herd and humans who loved him.  He was always happy and very affectionate with both his herd and his humans.  We will miss Mr Eight every day, but we are so grateful that we were given…

My name is Wuz. In 2011 I came to live at Cranky’s FARM.  I arrived with my fellow petting zoo friends Jersey, Fiddy and Mr Eight, we were all only 4 months old. I am pretty small so I feel like I have to try extra hard to make sure people know I’m no push…

My name is Pushy. I was one of the original three animals lucky enough to come to live at Cranky’s FARM.  I arrived there with my two friends Cranky and Bubba. The people at Cranky’s noticed straight away that I wanted to be in charge and that I was very “pushy”. People say I am…

My name is Trixie. In 2016 my sister Sarah and I came to live at Cranky’s FARM. Before that we had been living on the farm of a man who bought us to eat his grass.   When the grass stopped growing he didn’t want to have to feed us so he decided to send us…

My name is Bubba. In 2010 I came to live at Cranky’s FARM.  I was one of the first three to arrive, alongside Cranky and Pushy. Apparently I was the biggest of the three and I was really sweet and slow so the people there called me Bubba after the guy from the movie Forrest…

Cranky arrived at our property with two other dairy steers, Bubba and Push, in February 2010. They spent the first three months of their lives as part of a mobile petting zoo. Unfortunately, people don’t realise, just like we didn’t, the lives of the cute baby animals they cuddle at petting zoos are typically short…

My name is Jack. In 2011 I came to live at Cranky’s FARM with my daughter, Hannah. We used to live with a couple of people who took good care us.  Unfortunately, they wanted to move house and we couldn’t go with them. Our people contacted Donkey Rescue who contacted Cranky’s and they were happy…

My name is Fiddy. In 2011 I arrived at Cranky’s FARM with my friends Mr Eight, Jersey and Wuz.  Before that we had been travelling around the state as part of a mobile petting zoo.  We were four months old and the petting zoo people said we were getting too big and starting to scare the…

My name is David. I came to live at Cranky’s FARM at the beginning of 2018.  Before I arrived I had been living with a family who bought me to eat their weeds.  Unfortunately, I preferred to eat everything else.  They said I wasn’t fulfilling my purpose and asked if the people at Cranky’s would…

My name is Sarah. My sister, Trixie, and I came to live at Cranky’s FARM in 2016.  Before that we lived by ourselves on a farm where we were supposed to eat the grass for the farmer.  When the grass stopped growing the farmer didn’t want us anymore.  I didn’t know this, but I nearly…

Rest well in peace Mumma. During the afternoon on the 23rd of October 2021 we were had to let Mumma pass on to her next adventure without us.  It was the hardest decision we have had to make, and maybe the hardest we will ever have to because she was so very special to us. …

My name is Chloe. I came to live at Cranky’s FARM in 2012.  I am a Dexter cow which means I am the smallest cow at Cranky’s FARM.  Although I’m small I have a really BIG attitude. I used to be a family pet but I didn’t have any other cow friends so I kept…
