Meet Bandit, Animal Ambassador

Last Updated 7/24/2024Posted in Homepage, Ambassadors


Bandit is one of our 12 goats and is a Tennessee fainting/Nubian mix. She has been with us since 2014 so she is one of our longest standing residents at the Ranch!

Bandit is one of the oldest goats in our herd at 13 years old but you would never be able to tell from her spunky personality. She knows exactly when it's her time for food and will sprint over to you, eager to eat!

The easiest way to tell Bandit apart from the other goats is by her long, white coat and the black mask on her face, like a bandit! Bandit is also the mom to two of our other goats, Ellen and Penelope.

Bandit loves to be brushed, loves to eat, and loves to bask in the sunshine on beautiful, sunny days! If you stop by the ranch make sure you come over and say hello to Bandit!
