Lay of the Land

Today it rains on Sasquatchicus Farms. Most of the animals are laying low and doing what they can to stay dry. We heard some howling this morning from the male sasquatches, but it all ended by 8:00 a.m. October marks the beginning of the breeding season for our elk and deer. On clear days, our farm gets pretty loud from all the animals calling and showing each other who the boss is.
During their respective mating seasons:
The sasquatch howl
The bison bellow
Our elk trumpet (which is one of the neatest sounds to hear)
and the deer grunt

We had to cancel our hay wagon tours this morning due to the rain, but hopefully the weather clears up soon so we can continue them again.

Currently, we have a live sasquatch in our visitor's center, with some staff members close by to answer questions. We do this every Tuesday as part of our learning program. The sasquatch, "Maisy," is very gentle with kids, and she is well socialized. She absolutely LOVES hugs, and chocolate. As I sit here on the computer in my office, I can hear Maisy "chuckling."

Life is good on the farm.

We have an updated map of Sasquatchicus Farms. The hay wagon rides start at the visitor's center, go into the deer/elk pen, then cut across Bigfoot Lane into the bison pen. From there, it goes into the Sasquatch pen for a long ride through the forest and fields, and then back out by the lake.


Now is a perfect time to go on a hay ride through our farm. With the trees turning colors, and the animals active getting ready for winter, chances are you will be amazed.
Take care,
