Tinkerbelle
With heavy hearts, we share the sad news that our beloved Tinkerbelle passed away. Tinkerbelle had been living with cancer for the past few years, but she made the most of every moment—staying strong, spirited, and surrounded by love. She was full of character and always held her own in the herd, even on the…
Bossy – RIP
**Our beautiful Bossy passed away in February 2020 as the result of a very fast growing tumor. Bossy was a sweet, kind natured, affection girl and we will miss her everyday.** My name is Bossy. I arrived at Cranky’s FARM in 2011 with my friends Bambi and Lil’One. We had been living on a goat…
Jersey
My name is Jersey. I came to live at Cranky’s FARM in 2011. Before that I had spent the first four months of my life touring around with a petting zoo. At four months old I was still a baby but, apparently, I was too big to stay with the zoo. They were going to…
Mr Eight
*** Mr Eight passed away on Tuesday, 2 April 2024 from a snake bite. 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…
Wuz
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…
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…
Trixie
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…
Bubba
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
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…
Jack
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…
Fiddy
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…
David
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…
