Feel free to walk up to the barn and see the animals. Sheep, lambs, cows and calves are in different pastures and pens at different times of the year.
The land on both sides of the gravel road you came in on also belong to the ranch and can be explored.
We have a livestock guardian dog whose job it is to live with and protect the animals. She has access to the whole property, including the yard of the rental cottage, to do her job. She will probably come visit for attention, but please do not feed her. We don't encourage her to hang around the houses.
Feel free to walk up to the barn, but please don't open gates or go in pastures.. The cows can be friendly but are unpredictable. Be mindful of their horns! Do not stick your hands or arms through gates or fences.
You can also explore the wooded acreage you will come thru on arrival. We have foraged chanterelles, oyster, chicken of the woods and cauliflower mushrooms in the right conditions and time of year!
