Who We Are
The history of Rawly-Mae Farm
In 2020, our family purchased a horse as our children began riding horses at a very young age, and then soon after we purchased a pony as well. Unfortunately, the property we owned was not sufficient enough for us to safely house a horse due to living on a hillside. In June 2021, we made the decision to look for a farm and began searching real estate listings. Within an hour we located a 15 acre farm listed for sale in a location that we wanted to be in. The location was in a good area for our jobs, secluded yet close to everything, and our neighbors, (Northfield Vineyards, Medley Acres at Northfield, and everyone in the Ray Cemetery community) welcomed us like family. So in September of 2021, we sold our first house, one we built on family land as newlyweds in 2013, and started the farm life. We registered the farm under the name Rawly-Mae Farm, naming the farm after our 2 children.
Our children's love for horses and their eagerness to participate in youth barrel races and pole events moved us to purchase a couple of barrel ponies for them, Dutty and Yogi. In March of 2022, we purchased a 10 month old "bucking" bull named Gus, a miniature dexter bull calf for my son for his birthday, a couple of goats, and a couple of donkies. That's when it all started. Next thing you know we become registered livestock dealers and began investing in mini cows, ponies, donkies, and horses for resale. A few of these animals we have rescued from poor conditions and poured some love into them. Nothing has been more rewarding than seeing a mistreated animal happy and healthy in their new forever homes. As we purchase fur babies to sell, some never leave the farm as our family falls in love with them and refuses to let them leave. Currently, Rawly-Mae Farm is a forever home to a couple ponies (Dutty and Yogi), a horse (PoPo), mini cows (Gus, Smokey, Nessie, Nellie, and Ida), mini donkeys (PJ, Hank, and Ms. Hunny), goats, a pig (Mr. Butters), chickens, and a llama (Neil). In the past, sheep, rabbits, mules, and alpacas have also called Rawly-Mae Farm home.
We are quickly approaching our first year in this business and have been overwhelmed at times with the huge demand of this market. We have learned many lessons this past year as we deal with rising costs on everything, scammers, and learning how to care for each of these animals. Our farm is constantly expanding operations by upgrading equipment, housing, and tools needed to allow more animals to come to our farm. We have been overwhelmed by the number of folks who follow us on social media, have been understanding with us as we make mistakes, and have helped us grow this little farm. We loving seeing happy faces as we deliver fur babies to their new forever homes and watching them as they adapt to their new families.
God has blessed us during this process and is continually teaching us new lessons. This is the first chapter of our story. Follow us as we begin writing the second chapter.
How to purchase from our farm.
- Currently we do not breed our own animals. ( We are looking to breed Highpark cattle and miniature donkeys in the near future.) We purchase our animals from other farms, livestock sales, etc; Because we are unable monitor them from birth to your door, we quarantine each animal for at least two weeks. During that time we will be providing vaccines, wormer, any meds they may need, and for those that are underweight we begin a good feeding program. You can purchase and receive your pet before quarantine is over but you must acknowledge that you understand this and agree to complete the quarantine when you take them home.
- We work hard to keep our prices as low as possible to provide you a quality animal at a reasonable price. Our supplier's prices, fuel prices, medicine prices, and feed costs may force us to raise our prices from time to time. We understand that there are plenty of scammers out there and we take steps to help protect you during your purchase. We allow you to schedule a visit to the farm to examine the animal, we will schedule a time for you to video call with us to see the animal in real time, and we try to watermark our photographs for authenticity.
- You have done your research and now your ready to purchase your fur baby. Often times we have several folks wanting the same animal. In order to be fair with everyone, the first person who puts a deposit down will secure the animal. We require that a 10% non-refundable deposit be put down on the animal. This will hold the animal for 7 days. After 7 days we will discuss boarding fees, or if you stop communicating with us at that time within 24 hrs we will remove the hold. The remainder of the balance will be due at pick up. For your protection we will allow you to make final payment after the hauler arrives and confirms the status of the animal. We will not release the animal until final payment has been made.
- All sales are "As Is" and there are no refunds, exchanges, or returns after payment has been made. We will give you all the information we know about the animal before purchase. We examine each animal and inform you if we see anything of concern that you should be aware of.
- You are more than welcome to schedule a pickup for you to come pick up your animal. If we are able to, we can provide delivery up to 4 hours from our location. We can provide recommendations of reputable livestock haulers or assist you in finding a hauler. If you schedule a hauler to pick up your animal we will work with them to keep you informed each step of the process.
- We try to supply a free lead rope and halter with each purchase (if we have them in stock.) For bottle babies we will provide a free bottle and 3-4 days of milk supplements.
- Because we are a registered livestock dealer, we are required to maintain documentation on each sale. A bill of sale will be completed for each sale.
- We can provide discounts if you purchase more than one animal from us. Contact us for pricing with the animals you are wanting to purchase.
- We look forward to providing you with your next fur baby and love to see pictures and videos as they get interact with you at your home.
- Feel free to contact us with any other questions you may have. Thanks for choosing our farm for your new pet!
