One of their donkeys, Emma, gave birth to a black foal seven months ago and rejected him. When Sara and Rick saw Emma kicking her newborn baby, they grabbed him and brought him into their house. They named him Cash after Johnny Cash because of his color.

Social media viewers enjoy watching Cash roaming around inside and trotting outside. One of his signature gags is running by people and animals and kicking at them as he passes. He also likes to play with the other donkeys.

Sara shared examples of how Cash is basically one of their dogs in a donkey suit. “Cash is very similar to the dogs. I believe he thinks he is half dog/ half human. Our dogs are livestock guardian dogs, and Cash loves to ‘work’ with them. When they run off to a corner of the farm after something, Cash runs with them only he has no clue what he is running after. It’s hilarious to watch. When they are all inside, they love to snuggle with Rick as he lies on the floor, and Cash gets right in on it.”
