Animals
At Prairie Star Care Farm, our animals are essential partners in the healing journey. We recognize every being, from the smallest insect to the grandest draft horse, as a sentient creature deserving of care and respect. Our dedication to animal welfare guarantees they have safe spaces, comfort, and the freedom to roam. We kindly request that you stay outside their fences during your visit and avoid feeding them to ensure their wellbeing.




Horses
Seamus
Winona
We have two equine species at Prairie Star Care Farm. Each one is unique with their own personality and ways of exploring the world. Each horse is a different breed: the Fell pony (Winona) and the American Saddlebred (Seamus).
Sheep
Obsidian (Sid)
Saami
Bucket McStuffins
Seving
All of our sheep are Nordic breeds meaning they come from places that are very cold in the winter making our sheep great for Minnesota weather. They all have extra long fibers used to make into wonderful pieces of clothing and/or arts/crafts.
Goats
Ezra
Thelonius Monk
Esther
Sven
Tilly
Our goats range in a variety of breeds - from Pygora (a cross between an Angora and Pygmy goat) to Nigerian, Myotonic and San Clemente. Only Ezra (Pygora) is a "fiber goat" because we shear him like a sheep and use his fleece for knitting and felting.
Chickens
Roo-Roo the Rooster + hens
The chickens are fun to watch. Our rooster, Roo-Roo, is white 'Swedish Flower' who's job it is to be like the shepherd or protector of the flock. He keeps a look out for predators and provides guidance to all of the hens - alerting them when he's found food, maintains the social hierarchy, tells the hens when and where to move around, to ensure their safety.
