RESIDENT "FACULTY"

Meet our animal friends at Rooster Valley Farm School

Rooster Valley Farm School has some unique resident "faculty." Our farm animals live on campus. Our classroom dogs and cat commute each day. Hover over animals below to learn more about them.

Resident "Faculty" barnyard friends:

Boots

Boots, a Norwegian Dwarf Goat, enjoys being fed by hand. He has attended Heirloom's (a local restaurant) birthday party where he was very social & enjoyed the fine dining. Boots seems to be the main greeter in the RVFS barnyard.
Button
Wilbur

Wilbur claims to be a Micro Teacup Pig. This might be true if we lived in the giant's home in Jack & the Beanstalk. Wilbur enjoys being rubbed on the belly, having his skin exfoliated, and eating...well, everything. He has a hard time seeing, so please do not feed him out of your hand.

"President" Jemima

Jemima the Runner Duck was voted in as President of the Barnyard this year (2020). She won against Boots the goat. Our last president, Prudence the hen, died in office.

Lambert

He is our taller Babydoll sheep. He enjoys rubs above his nose.
Button
Maggie

Being a Magpie duck, Maggie is very talkative. She is RVFS' oldest duck. She enjoys eating lettuce and making a very loud quacking sound that sounds like a laughing man.

Prudence RIP

One of our oldest chickens! She broke her foot years ago, but worked through it and is a go-getter! Prudence was voted in as RVFS' first Barnyard President in 2016 by all of our students. Snaps the goat lost that race.
