Moody Tree Farm - Part 3

I wrapped up my tour of Moody Tree Farm's Adirondack and Christmas themed gift shop by making several purchases. I was told it was OK to walk around the grounds, taking pictures and seeing the animals, so out I went:

I walked over to the horse barn:

But the horse barn was empty:

I found two extremely friendly goats:

And a bit of Christmas tree farm, though most of their commercial production, I had read, was done in fields down the road:

I walked over to the horse pens, where a friendly horse and miniature horse were grazing. The big horse came over to be petted. There were other animals, including a donkey, in a farther pen but I didn't get close to them:

Seeing another barn, I began walking that direction:

A sign announced that this was the pig barn:

And indeed, two colorful and friendly swine greeted me inside:

I mostly wanted a closer look at the Texas Longhorns, but they were far off in a field, unmoved from when I'd first arrived. But they were near a fence along the road, so I drove over to visit them. They were alert and curious, but not enough so to stand up and come over to the fence. They are beautiful animals, but I've already had my experience with long-horned cattle and now prefer my Red Polls. This was my last stop at Moody Tree Farms, but I bet I'll be back again before Christmas:

Northern New York Poultry Fanciers Association Swap Meet - Part 2

I'd seen about half of the swap meet, and continued on my way, stopping to take a look at this Speckled Sussex rooster:

This table was selling all manner of horse tack (equipment):

These two black baby pigs had just been sold and were squealing loudly as they were transferred to their carrier:

Two Angora rabbits, very cute indeed:

An unidentified bantam:

Muscovy Ducks:

Chicken coops and rabbit hutches for sale:

Elaborate birdhouses and barn board picture frames:

White Silkies:

Turkeys:

Wood Duck nest boxes:

I went indoors where they were selling coffee, meals and raffle tickets:

I'd secretly hoped that someone would be selling Fantail Pigeons, not that I needed any more. But there were none. So I walked back to my car. The pickup truck behind me held a family who had just bought a bunny and were cuddling it when this woman walked by with a pet goat. It too was for sale, and the family with the bunny decided to buy it. But it was time for me to head for home, so I didn't wait around to see the transaction:
