The Farmstead has just about any animal found
on the farm - cows, goats, sheep, ponies, draft horses and miniature horses,
donkeys, chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks.
We also have bison, longhorn steer, prairie dogs, bobcats and birds of prey.
Unfortunately, we are unable to take additional animals. Operation Wildlife can assist with wild animals. Their phone number is 913/631-6566.
