News ## This year at the Big Thunder Ranch petting farm we will have two new additions to the family: a miniature Hereford cow and a black lamb. They will be in the area starting mid-November (I'd guess sometime close to the start of Holiday season). The pardoned turkeys and Santa's reindeer will not be available for viewing this year. I can't wait to see pictures of the new animals! (Taken from The Hub, the CM website)

They should name the cow Richard, as in Richard of Hereford from Shakespeare's Richard II 😀 nerd moment. - ladylikesdisney  921.5 #95 12:08PM

Richard really isn't much of a female name, I could understand if the Hereford was going to be a bull or even a steer but not for a cow or heifer :) - mrscttlemstr  236.9 #1143 9:10PM
Kevin wasn't much of a female name either 😉🐣 - cesium55  529.7 #216 7:58AM
Great... Now people can show their kids where big thunder ranch BBQ menu items come from... 🐮 - BambooMike  121.8 #2696 1:00PM
Great idea! - PrincessDuckie  586.9 #187 8:24AM
😦 Are they taking away Santa too? It's sad to see Christmas touches like this taken from the parks. I loved seeing the reindeer and turkey! It felt kinda small town and hokey. - Sweet_Irish_Cream  2547.4 #22 12:34PM
I hope they don't take away Santa! - IDVandalSkipperCM  1291.1 #63 12:35PM

I was all excited about the cow and lamb, and then...OMG NO REINDEER?!?! - bluefairy  627.1 #174 1:20PM
A cow?! I can't wait to take my little one! Thanks for sharing! - kss4tink  216.8 #1394 1:38PM
I was so excited to see reindeer, oh well, I'll have to check it out. I have yet to see any animals. - GarnerPhotography  321.4 #516 4:08PM
No reindeer?😭😭😭 - princessVanessa  382.5 #351 4:28PM
😳no reindeer?! - MicheyMouse  264.6 #872 4:49PM
This is kind of sad. Although, I remember overhearing people complaining about the smell of the reindeer last year when I was there. Didn't bother me, but wondering if this has something to do with it. 'Course, I can't imagine a cow smelling much better but what does this suburban girl know?! :) - mouseprincess  307.9 #572 5:21PM
I didn't even think of that, however they are animals and it is in a petting zoo location. Can't keep it smelling like roses all the time. Even Main Street sometimes ends up smelling like a barn, but it just reminds me of the county fair at home. - IDVandalSkipperCM  1291.1 #63 9:39PM
complaining? oh good gravy. - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint  1798.1 #42 9:44PM
Agreed. I thought it was weird that people were complaining :/ - mouseprincess  307.9 #572 2:34PM
Cattle do not have the extra glands that reindeer have, so no, they will not have the same smell. I have to say, sometimes I would rather smell cattle than some of the people we run across in our everyday life! LOL - mrscttlemstr  236.9 #1143 9:18PM
How sad, I'm going to miss them. - mswendybe  193.4 #1711 9:47PM
What??? No reindeer? That's a bummer. - HRZee  11.5 #6330 10:03PM
I loved telling my kids. Thats where the reindeer take vacation after Christmas. - DisneyVacationLover  274.8 #780 2:59PM
No reindeer? : ( - 7mouskedoodles  161.1 #2138 4:15AM
I'm really looking forward to the cow! Sad about the reindeer though. - MrsSchnooks  572.4 #193 8:21AM
bump :] for full info on the Reindeers and their replacements :] - MEHlanie_Mouse  690.8 #146 7:03PM
Could you go in and pet the reindeer? - Sharkgrrl19  202.9 #1584 9:14PM
You used to be able to pet them from outside the enclosure but I don't think you were ever allowed inside with them. - IDVandalSkipperCM  1291.1 #63 7:50AM
