When it’s hot outside - the pigs get a mud puddle! Primrose and Petunia love cooling off in the water - and the mud acts like a sunscreen protecting them from the sun.

Weir River Farm staff recently had an exciting wildlife sighting—a coyote exploring the pastures! It’s a wonderful reminder that this special place is home to a rich variety of native wildlife. Coyotes play an important role in our local ecosystem, helping maintain balance by keeping populations of rodents and other small animals in balance.

While sightings aren’t frequent, these elusive animals are longtime residents of the farm, and staff do spot them from time to time. People and coyotes coexist peacefully here—coyotes typically avoid humans and prefer to keep their distance. That said, it’s always wise to stay aware of your surroundings while enjoying the trails.

A few quick tips for coexisting with coyotes:
- Keep young children close and within sight
- Ensure pets are leashed and attended at all times
- Give wildlife plenty of space—never approach or feed them

Moments like these are a great reminder of the vibrant natural world all around us. Keep your eyes open—you never know what you might spot (from a safe distance, of course)! 👀

You never know what delightful moments you’ll find in the barnyard! Recently, one of our chickens decided the perfect place to perch was right on a goat’s back.

Scenes like this highlight the unique personalities of our animals and the fun, curious relationships they form. Goats are naturally social and curious, while chickens are always on the lookout for a good vantage point—sometimes even if it means hitching a ride!

Next time you visit, take a moment to slow down and observe the barnyard—you might catch a bit of farmyard magic like this for yourself. 💛
