Slow down, walk with goats, and reconnect with simple joy.

Goat Walks at Not By Luck Ranch are a fun and unique memorable experience for anyone ready for an up-close, hands-on encounter with goats.

Stroll along a forested mountain trail as the goats walk, leap, and explore around you, offering a charming glimpse into everyday goat life. Along the way, you’ll have opportunities to feed them treats, capture memorable photos, and enjoy their curious, affectionate personalities.

This guided experience blends learning, laughter, and fresh air—perfect for animal lovers, small groups, and anyone seeking a meaningful moment outdoors. Come as you are and leave with stories, smiles, and a deeper appreciation for these delightful animals.

This experience is not stroller or wheelchair accessible and does require walking on a forested mountain trail (about 0.50 round trip). Moderate fitness is required. Our Goat Walk experience will last about 60 minutes. No DOGS or other outside animals allowed, please leave your pets at home and enjoy ours. Every person in attendance must have a ticket purchased in advance and a signed liability release on file. Please wear closed toed shoes appropriate for hiking and livestock.

We know you will be enchanted by the goats and we can’t wait to share them with you soon!

Burro is the name for a donkey from the wild. A female donkey is called a jenny.

Meet our sweet-natured herd of rescued wild burros—lovingly known as our Jackpot Jennies. We call them that because the day we rescued them truly felt like hitting the jackpot, and we believe you’ll feel it too the moment you meet them.

This peaceful, guided experience invites you to slow down and connect with these gentle giants in a meaningful way. Learn about wild burros and the importance of their protection, spend quiet time with the herd, and experience firsthand the calm, joy, and hope that donkeys so naturally offer. Along the way, you’ll have opportunities to feed them treats, take beautiful photos, and simply be present with these soulful animals.

The highlight of the experience is the Donkey Walk, where you will have an  opportunity to partner with one of our burros and walk together at her pace—an unforgettable moment of trust, connection, and quiet companionship.
