We stayed at Licon Dairy near El Paso, TX on Thursday evening.
They have a "Petting Zoo" that we visited in the afternoon...
What a deal! You pay to get food from their store to feed their animals so the staff don't need to do it! |
Some cute burros (actually, none of the animals had identification signs, so whatever name I label them with is just my thought of what they were!) |
Sheep (there was a pig in the pen to the right) |
Turkeys |
Goats |
When we got to the goat pen, I noticed a lot of food pellets on the ground that had evidently been dropped by previous visitors... so...
... I recycled it! |
There were some little ones over by the ladder-ramp -- a couple of them looked like they were young, but others may have been full grown but pygmies. |
I gave some pellets to Carl so he was also feeding some -- in this case a deer... |
... and another in the deer pen - though the male objected to any others getting fed! |
There was a small pond with an island on it in the midst of the animal pens (none of the animals had access to it). |
Some Longhorn cattle |
Peacock |
Ostriches |
The peacock got up when we got near but he didn't display his tail feathers by raising them. I guess the peahen was not close enough or interesting enough to warrant his attention! |
I still had 3 pieces of food from outside the goat enclosure, so these three burros got a piece each as we were leaving. |
We always enjoy visiting Cattleman's Steakhouse when we're near Fabens, Texas so we drove up there for supper...

Our meal has arrived! |
We enjoyed our visits in the area around El Paso!
