Greenbriar Ranch
Caitlin and I went to this animal park that just opened up not far from our house. You could pet and feed most of the animals. A small deer let me pet it and it licked me (good thing it wasn't slimey like some animals), it was so sweet. It took about 2 hours to ride through the ranch, they would stop and let you feed the animals. They had deer, pigs, buffalo,ostriches, emus, zebras,rams, elks, gazelles,chickens,roasters,peacocks,donkeys,goats,sheep, and minature horses. We had alot of fun, Caitlin was a little leary of feeding them by hand. The guide said it wouldn't be a good idea to hand feed the zebra or buffalo, but you could feed them out of your bucket. One of the deer's horns were so big I didn't hand feed him because I was afraid I'd get speared. Two male deers almost went at it but one backed down.

Wow - that's near your house? Cool. Ostrich burgers are great, BTW ; )
And how did the deer survive without the local rednecks turning it into dinner? I have got to take the kids there next time we are in your neck of the woods.
This property is private property that is fenced in, I think even the rednecks would feel bad killing an animal that would come up and lick you. The guy that owns this had a car dealership, he traded 4 lama's for a car 16 years ago and kept adding animals. He was really nice, his whole family runs it. They are going to open campgrounds, hopefully next year.
Speaking of rednecks, the guy in a trailer next door sold his truck and rides down the street over a mile to the gas station on his lawn mower. Probably to get beer and cigarettes.
ahhhh that's so funny I wish we had bought a riding mower instead of a push, so I could ride up to the store!
