Purple Goat Ranch The Purple Goat Ranch became official in 2017 with our first rescue goat Knuck Knuck. Bryan and I both grew up loving land and animals. And here we are.

Purple Goat Ranch serves two purposes: 1) we are registered Texas Longhorn breeders; and 2) we are a sanctuary for senior, blind or other rescue horses and livestock. Rejected by his momma, he was a bottle baby with a variety of disabilities who stole our heart. Coupled with many requests of “Grammy, will you get me a horse” we decided it was time to find property. We want our grandkids to grow up knowing the country life, animals and all. In 2021, we found the perfect property to meet all our dreams. Incorporated as an LLC in 2021, the Purple Goat Ranch’s principal business is breeding registered Texas Longhorns. We started with two momma’s and their two babies and have grown our herd. Our DBA, Double C Longhorns, would not be complete without our horses, donkeys, goats, llama, dogs, cats and of course, our family. Rescue is our favorite breed. Why the name Purple Goat Ranch when we breed Longhorns? Because of Knuck Knuck. At our old house Bryan and I would sit on the back porch dreaming about land, longhorns, donkeys, and did I say land? Knuck Knuck would always join us on the back porch with his head rested on your feet. One night, as I stood up from my rocking chair, my glass of red wine spilled all over our white Knuck Knuck. Needless to say Knuck Knuck was purple for weeks. That is how the name was born. We set up this page to share the joy we get every day. We are “Living the Dream Y’all”.

Beginning and end to the day.

Beginning- This morning the crescent moon was so beautiful. I tried to capture it but that beauty was just for my eyes and not my camera it appears.

End - Kadie is all tuckered out after a long day of sleeping and barking.

Not sure the donkeys are loving this glorious rain but we sure are.

Interesting facts about donkeys:

1) They do not like rain. Their fur is not moisture wicking so they do not repel rain like horses do. Donkeys are more susceptible to rain rot.

2) Donkeys, as well as horses, put their butts to the rain to protect their faces.

3) One-two donkeys in a herd are always on lookout as they are prey animals. Right now this pack has two directions covered. Looks like Idell is taking one for the team as she is facing into the rain. They will switch around at some point.

Even the cows love the misters. Interestingly we built this pergola to have a nice covered area for us with tables and chairs. Alas... it was not meant to be.
