🐍 ANYONE WANNA HEAR A RATTLESNAKE STORYYYYY?! It’s VERY LONG AND OBNOXIOUS!!🐍

(The video below was just a few peaceful moments before all hell broke loose. 🤪🐍)

Anyone who knows me knows I do A LOT of animal wrangling.

Camel? ✅
Capybara? ✅
Llama? ✅
Horse? ✅
Cow? ✅
Kangaroo? Sure. ✅

But SNAKES?!

Absolutely not.

Those are NOPE ROPES and I do not wrangle them. 😂

Now let me set the scene by rattling off everything I had to accomplish before the day was over…

It was FARRIER DAY, so every hoofed creature on this farm needed their feet done. I put my farrier on strict warning:

“YOU HAVE TO COME EARLY AND WE CANNOT TALK.”

Because both of us talk entirely too much and I had PLACES TO BE. 😂

Somehow, by an actual miracle, we finished at EXACTLY 10:00 AM.

Perfect.

That gave me just enough time to give everybody fresh water, run inside, shower, take Gracie to her ortho appointment, take my sister to her LabCorp appointment, feed everybody, rush to ANOTHER appointment, and somehow make it back home in time for a 6:45 PM private farm tour.

Just a calm, relaxing little Wednesday. 🤪

So I’m doing waters when I look across the farm and think…

“Is that the camel OUT?”

Nah.

Surely my eyes are deceiving me.

They were not.

HUMPHREY WAS OUT. 🙃

And not only did Humphrey escape, but apparently he opened the gates of freedom and let his llama friends AND horse friends out too.

Now usually Humphrey stays fairly close.

But not today.

Today my approximately $10,000 CAMEL decided he wanted to explore the wilderness and took off THROUGH THE WOODS onto a huge piece of property on the other side.

Thankfully my trailer was already hooked up, so off I went to retrieve his giant behind.

The road over there is awful, so eventually I couldn’t drive any farther.

I spotted Humphrey WAY off in the distance.

So there I go…

Bucket of feed in one hand.
Halter and lead rope across my arm.
Walking toward a runaway camel like this is a completely normal way to spend a Wednesday morning.

At first he started acting like he might run.

Then he saw the bucket.

Because apparently food is stronger than freedom. 😂

He came right back to me and let me slip the lead rope around his neck.

Now on the right side of us was grass probably FIVE FEET TALL.

I’m standing there getting ready to put his halter on when suddenly…

RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE.

Y’ALL.

Everything happened so fast.

Humphrey stepped BACKWARD…

ONTO A RATTLESNAKE.

The snake STRUCK at him and was literally up in the air.

WELLLLLLLLLL…

That was the end of Anna the Animal Wrangler.

I abandoned the mission.

I abandoned the camel.

I abandoned the bucket.

I abandoned MY PHONE.

I RAN FOR MY ACTUAL LIFE. 🏃‍♀️💨🐍

Screaming at the absolute TOP of my lungs.

At some point I tripped about 200 feet from the truck and was literally ROLLING around on the ground trying to recover from the near-death experience I had just created in my own mind. 😂

I finally looked up…

…and here comes HUMPHREY ALSO RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE making his loud camel screaming noise.

So now it’s me screaming.

The camel screaming.

A rattlesnake rattling.

And the llamas?

THE LLAMAS WERE STILL EATING OUT OF THE BUCKET LIKE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. 😭😂

Humphrey saw the open trailer and JUMPED RIGHT IN.

Apparently he also decided the field trip was over.

Problem was…

MY PHONE WAS STILL BACK THERE.

Most normal people probably would’ve said, “Well. That phone belongs to the rattlesnake now.”

But that phone has my ENTIRE LIFE on it.

Bookings.
Business.
Messages.
Everything.

So yes.

I RISKED MY LIFE FOR AN IPHONE. 😂😂😂

Somehow I retrieved it, survived, got everyone back where they belonged, made it home in time for Gracie to check Humphrey over really well to make sure he hadn’t been bitten, and then jumped in the truck and LEFT FOR OUR APPOINTMENT LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED.

No animals were hurt.

I was not hurt.

The llamas eventually came trotting back home.

Humphrey is fine.

The rattlesnake probably needs therapy.

And somewhere in the middle of our neighbor’s property is still a random bucket that I absolutely did NOT go back for.

They can keep it.

It belongs to the snake now. 🐍🪣😂

Just another peaceful Wednesday at Crosswind Farm. 🤪

08/31/2026

THROWBACK TO 4 YEARS AGO when I caught this child approximately 0.7 seconds before committing a felony against the cat. 😂😂😂

She had the cup.
She had the water.
She had the victim selected.

And she was FULLY prepared to dump that entire cup directly on the cat’s head until I caught her in the act. 😭

The way she freezes when she realizes I’m watching is what absolutely SENDS me.

That is not the face of an innocent child.

That is the face of someone thinking:

“Okay… how much did she actually see?” 😂😂😂

Meanwhile the cat is just sitting there completely unaware that I had just prevented a personal attack.

No remorse.
No explanation.
Just busted.

Four years later and I still want to know what the cat did to deserve it. 🤣

Farm kids really wake up every morning and choose chaos.

MA’AM. 😭🤣

🦘🤎 HOMESCHOOL MOMS… CANCEL MATH. WE HAVE KANGAROOS AND CAPYBARAS. 😂

Okay, maybe don’t actually cancel math. Buttttt Crosswind Farm has TWO Homeschool Exotic Play Days coming up, and quite frankly, “feeding a camel” feels educational enough to count for at least one subject. 🤪

📅 SEPTEMBER 11TH
📅 SEPTEMBER 18TH

📍 799 Target Rd.
Holly Hill, SC 29059

💲 ONLY $20 PER CHILD

And before you ask what $20 gets you… buckle up because apparently we have ZERO chill over here. 😂

Your kids get to:

🦘 HOLD an itty-bitty baby kangaroo because apparently regular field trips are boring now.

🤎 Hang out with our BABY + ADULT CAPYBARAS, who spend their days eating snacks, lounging around, and contributing absolutely nothing financially to this farm.

🐒 Feed the ring-tailed lemurs and immediately realize they have better hand-eye coordination than most of us.

🐪 Feed our camel and pray he doesn’t decide your hairstyle needs adjusting.

🦙 Feed the llamas, who will absolutely stare into your soul while chewing.

🐴 Visit the mini horses.

🐰 ENTER THE WALK-IN BUNNY HOUSE, aka tiny fluffy chaos headquarters.

🐢 Hang out with baby tortoises AND our giant tortoises, who move approximately three feet per fiscal quarter.

🌾 FREE animal feed because these freeloaders apparently expect snacks all day.

🚜 HAYRIDES at the end!

🍧 AND A FREE SNOW CONE because after keeping up with your children AND our animals, everybody deserves sugar.

ANDDDDDD…

👨‍👩‍👧 ONE FREE ADULT PER PAID CHILD!

That’s right. You get to come supervise your precious little homeschool scholar while they casually hold a kangaroo and feed a camel like this is a completely normal Friday morning. 😂

These days are all about getting the kids OUTSIDE, having fun, learning about animals, making memories, and giving homeschool moms something way cooler to post than “today we practiced fractions.” 🤣

💲 $20 per child

Grab that mom who said she needed to “get the kids out of the house before she loses it.”

COME TO THE FARM. 😂🦘🤎

❤️ HELP US FILL BOTH DAYS!

Because Clarence the capybara has bills to pay…

Okay, that’s a lie.

Clarence has NEVER paid a bill in his life. 🤦‍♀️😂

08/28/2026

SOOOOOOO apparently Clarence has decided he is no longer a capybara.

He is now an INDEPENDENT MAN. 😭😂

We had a private tour today and everything was going suspiciously well.

Like… TOO well.

The kids were happy.
The animals were behaving.
Nobody had escaped.
Nobody had pooped on anyone.
I should’ve known immediately that something terrible was brewing. 🤪

Enter: CLARENCE.

Now Clarence is supposed to be in his nice little encounter pen where people can pet him, feed him, admire him, tell him how handsome he is, and basically treat him like the spoiled celebrity he already believes he is.

Apparently that wasn’t enough.

Because somewhere in his tiny little capybara brain he decided:

“I think I’ll leave.”

AND HE DID.

Not running.
Not panicking.
Not even trying to hide it.

Clarence just casually WALKED OUT like he had a lunch meeting across the farm. 😭

And I’m standing there in front of a whole private tour going…

“CLARENCE.”

Nothing.

“CLARENCE COME HERE.”

He turns around.

Looks directly at me.

And I SWEAR TO YOU his face said:

“No ❤️”

Then he starts walking FASTER.

Now here I am chasing a 130 pound potato with legs through my own farm while trying to maintain some level of professionalism in front of guests.

Which lasted approximately 4 seconds.

I’m yelling.
The kids are laughing.
Clarence is absolutely THRIVING.
And I’m pretty sure every other animal on the farm was watching like it was dinner and a show. 😭😂

At one point this man STOPPED.

TURNED AROUND.

LOOKED AT EVERYONE.

And I’m telling you right now…

HE KNEW.

He knew exactly what he was doing.

He looked like a toddler who just threw your phone in the toilet and is waiting to see your reaction.

Sir.

You are not free-range.

You are not the tour guide.

You do not own this property.

YOU DO NOT PAY TAXES HERE.

Get your giant guinea pig butt BACK IN THE PEN. 😂😂😂

Eventually we got Clarence back where he belonged and he immediately went back to acting innocent like the entire incident had never happened.

Just standing there.

Chewing.

Blinking.

Like:

“Wow Anna, you seem stressed.”

I AM STRESSED, CLARENCE.

BECAUSE OF YOU. 😭

The tour guests thought it was absolutely hilarious.

Clarence thought it was hilarious.

Every animal watching thought it was hilarious.

The only person who did NOT think it was hilarious was the woman sprinting behind a capybara yelling “PLEASE STOP RUNNING.” 😂

So anyway…

Crosswind Farm is now proud to offer a brand-new experience:

✨ ESCAPE WITH CLARENCE ✨

You don’t know where you’re going.
Clarence doesn’t know where he’s going.
But by God, we’re going somewhere. 🤣🤣🤣

10/10 chaos.
0/10 listening skills.
100/10 chance he tries it again.

And honestly?
@
I think he’s still proud of himself. 😭🤎

The video is POST escape doing capybara things.

☀️🐐 MORNING STORY TIMEEEEEE… CIRCA 2020 😂

Because I KNOW y’all were sitting around waiting on today’s farm disaster story… except this morning was extremely boring and normal.

RUDE.

So we’re throwing it back to 2020, because apparently the year was already a dumpster fire and our goats wanted to contribute. 🤪

We were all just out here trying to figure out life when some friends rented our party barn for a birthday party. The kids were running around having the ABSOLUTE time of their lives, everyone was riding horses in the back, and everything was going suspiciously well.

Which, if you’ve ever been to our farm, should have immediately been a red flag.

Enter: Charlotte and Rona. 🐐🐐

These two furry criminals decided the goat gate was less of a barrier and more of a personal challenge. So naturally, they jumped right over it.

Because apparently goats do not recognize fences, rules, boundaries, or the concept of “please don’t ruin this birthday party.”

While everybody was distracted riding horses, Charlotte and Rona made their way straight to the PARTY FOOD.

Not the grass.

Not the hay.

Not their own perfectly good goat food.

THE CAKE AND SNACK TABLE. 🎂😂

They looked at that table like two tiny, horned food critics who had just arrived at a five-star buffet.

I was absolutely MORTIFIED.

I’m apologizing profusely, trying to catch goats, attempting to rescue whatever food hadn’t been licked, chewed, stepped on, or spiritually claimed, and wondering how exactly I was going to explain that our goats had just catered themselves a birthday lunch.

Meanwhile, Wendi Conyers is laughing SO HARD she is literally SNORTING. 😂😂😂

Not politely giggling.

Not offering assistance.

SNORTING.

She thought it was the funniest thing that had happened all day.

I was in full crisis-management mode, chasing goats around like a deranged party planner, while Wendi was apparently enjoying the best comedy show of her life.

I was just reminiscing about this story with another customer recently, and she said, “Yeahhhh… I would NOT have found that funny.” 🤣

And you know what?

FAIR.

Because if I had paid for birthday food and two goats showed up like unpaid, uninvited wedding crashers, I might not have been laughing either.

So I guess I really hit the birthday-party-mama jackpot with Wendi, because Charlotte and Rona could have gotten me FIRED from my own farm that day. 😂🐐🎂

Ahhhh, 2020.

The year when everything was already completely unhinged, and the goats still said, “You know what this party needs? More chaos… and possibly cake.”
