My husband brought me to McCray's Farm today. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would certainly not say that this place was dirty. The llamas were somewhat matted but I wouldn't think combing would be an option. I come from a long line of farmers and all animals seemed to be very healthy save for some ducks and geese that appeared to have wing injuries (someone stated many of these animals are drop offs so likely arrived here that way.) No farm odors which impressed me considering the number of animals. Didn't get a chance to try the ice cream but I'll be back! Great place to bring kids.

Based on what I've heard from friends who have gone in recent years, and based on the comments left here, I've decided against going to this farm for the haunted ride. And as for the charge of the place is dirty, I work on horse farms. My experience has been that the owners who keep neat facilities and healthy animals are the ones who pour the money they make from the farm's activities back into the farm. I was more than a little concerned by the many comments that suggested the place was dirty or that the animals were living in filth. Just like fresh fish shouldn't smell fishy, a farm shouldn't smell dirty.

for your information, i was the driver of that tractor, it had nothing to do with the upkeep, we go through and check the equipment multiple times a year, its not our fault that the bold broke, its pretty impossible to tell when a bolt is about to break, maybe you can but you are a first. and the only time you screamed was when i stopped because i noticed it had broke. you were so quick to get off and complain, to then go lite up a cigarette and then throw the butt on the ground. Also, the area for the animals is not to small, they have plenty of room to move around, even run, and they are not covered in feces, just because they cant wipe themselves doesnt mean we should. you find one animal such as the ones we have dont have any feces on the rear ends. finally there are multiple sheep there, they have their own shelters to go in. we keep them in there because we dont want to over crowd the other areas. if you think you could do a better job then please do. id love to see you last a day in our shoes.

These people should be ashamed of themselves!! The conditions those poor animals live in should be an embarrassment! Filthy and small! The poor things walk around smelling due to their feces covered fur. Why was one lone sheep banished to the duck pond?! You'll be taking your life into your own hands when you take the ride to the pumpkin patch! A pin broke on the wheel of the wagon and we came about an inch from smashing into a parked car! If we hadnt screamed to the driver..who knows! The only apology was from the drivers..management seemed to not care! All that money thats put into advertising this dump should be used to take care of the animals and the upkeep of their equipment! Shame on McCrays!!!

Dear Possible animal neglect
Call the m.s.p.c.a. Just about every duck and goose in that pond is a drop off and the rest of them are wild.You are right,the llama does have a mat of hair,you should see us giving him his shots. The only way to shave him would be to tranquilize him.We had a licensed vet tranquilize the water buffalo so we could trim her feet,he gave her too much and killed her.Any more bright ideas?Are the animals well fed and clean?You have some issues if you can't appreciate all the good going on in this free animal farm

Went today with a friend and her two children, inside seemed nice, and the zoo looked nice from the outside. Then we got up close and personal and counted no less than 5 geese with badly broken/deformed wings sticking out at a 90 degree angle from their bodies. To be fair only one looked like they were in pain the others had healed and now are just disabled. Also in addition there was a duck with holes in his beak that looked very raw, and they were not his nasal holes, and another duck missing its lower jaw and just had its tongue hanging down. I was willing to pawn this off on the fact that they might be wild birds, but once I saw the llama I couldn't deny it. It was so badly matted that it looked like a solid shag carpet on its back. I was hoping to find a local gem but was severely disappointed. If the farm is not doing well enough to fix itself up as another reviewer said, then they should not be in charge of animals which can be very expensive. Unfortunately a vet bill would come to thousands to look over all the animals, but at the very basic level they should be having a vet come out to inspect them at a distance and then taking the individuals for a closer look. This is called responsible ownership. Because they have been domesticated they can no longer fend for themselves. If a business owner chooses to have them be a spectacle for their business then they in turn need to take care of those animals. And if this is not economically feasible then they need to bite the bullet and give the animals away or pair down the number of animals to a manageable level.

I would advice everyone to go there at least once during the daytime and get the real experience. It is a nice, wonderful place to be. I wish I could be there all the time. I love the ice cream and love the animals. Never taken the hay ride but I think the farms highlight is not the seasonal hay rides but the petting farm and ice cream that is offered the majority of the time (except maybe winter). Mini golf looked fun last time too last time I went (last month on July 2009). Bought a quart of pistachio ice cream and eat it all by myself over a week. yum.
