Spring is in the air! The grass is getting greener, the trees are starting to get their buds, and soon we’ll see flowers blooming all around. Our other favorite part of spring? Baby animals, of course! There’s no better place to be than a ranch in the springtime, and Cross E Ranch hosts a Baby Animal Festival so you can see (and even pet) some of them.

It's springtime at Cross E Ranch, and that means it's time for the Baby Animal Festival. This year the festival will run from April 5th through May 4th.
