Fall Event
September 20, 2008
9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
A salute to world cultures, the Fall Event is Heifer Ranch's biggest event, drawing approximately 1,000 visitors each year. The event is free and open to the public. This day includes hayrides, hands-on native crafts, educational tours of livestock and farming projects, as well as a walking trail through the Global Village. The Global Village replicates housing from Guatemala, Zambia, Thailand, Tibet, Appalachia, and the Urban Slums.

See the Ranch's livestock, including llamas, water buffalo, donkeys, sheep, goats, camels and more!
Get Involved by participating in several hands-on opportunities.
