Meet "Lucy" our barnyard greeter and spilled feed cleaner-upper.  !0-12 folks each day come up to us to tell us we have a goat escaped..But actually we encourage creativity- and boy does Lucy fit that bill- she goes in and out of the goat pen at will and visitors think she is escaping when actually she craves your attention and the feed you are carrying.  Other goats could make it through the fence openings, but they are not as smart as Lucy.  Be sure to say hello to Lucy on your next visit to the Ranch-- and just remember, she is allowed to be out.
