Last Tuesday I volunteered at Utah's only rescue farm, Ching Farm Rescue & Sanctuary. The farm is home to over 200 animals, from pigs & goats to cattle & lamas. They take in animals that have been abused, abandoned & were a trip away from the slaughterhouse. It was brilliant lending a hand & getting an up close look at animals I rarely see on this side of a supermarket.
Puppy dog eyes on a cow. A crossbreed perhaps?
Most of the animals were quite curious & amicable, following me around the place. I spent the morning getting water to all of their bowls & troughs.
This turkey was particularly friendly, I think he knows I didn't eat any of his siblings last November.
This lama almost looks like two men in a lama costume. I didn't get a good look, could be.
Even the cat was rescued, luckily he didn't chase any of the geese, turkeys, or chickens.
Don't mess with Texas Longhorns.
Catching some rays.
This is Verrall, he showed me around the farm & kept me from getting stampeded by the longhorn.
This photo hardly gives you an idea of how large those pigs are however they actually weigh over 900 lbs & are about 4'6'' tall.
Glad I went & I'm looking forward to going back again next week. It was like a petting zoo for the island of misfit animals.
