You might have seen us on any number of TV shows such as “Larry the Cable Guy – Only in America”, “Extreme Roadside Attractions”, “Chef vs City”, “Amazing Animals”, “Arizona Highways”, and many more but there is no substitute for experiencing it up close and personal. Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch is a three generation family owned and operated working ostrich ranch.

  • Fallow Deer
  • Peking Ducks
  • St. Croix Sheep
  • “The Goat Penthouse” and the “Hole in the Wall Gang” featuring Boer Goats
