Mini-K Ranch Expands Staff

Mini-K Ranch Underwood Iowa

Friday Mini-K Ranch officials announced a staff expansion two fold at the ranch.  Although details were very sketchy originally sources from the chicken clan finally revealed that two new baby chics were found.  The original was quickly wisked away into protective custody somewhere in the Caribbean while the other remained at the ranch.  The Nias Egg Consumption Company (NECC) out of Omaha, Nebraska has confirmed that one of it's deliveries was indeed short by two eggs.  "We will get to the bottom of this very soon" announced the NECC official. 

Sources at the Ranch also plan on moving the second baby chic into protective custody sometime this weekend.  "The two chits will spend the first part of their lives on vacation and that's not fair" announced one un-identified feathered roosting ranch member.  The rooster, having a 42 second memory span quickly left the area in search of something to do. 

Later that same weekend Mini-K Ranch officials announced a third stork delivery, this time for the horsie clan.  The stork was unwilling to comment except to mention that he had taken a wrong turn and that's why he was 3 weeks late.  The exact stork flight plan was unavailable and authorities speculate that no plan was even filed.  The stork was not paid using flowered checks. 

The new horsie clan member named Penny arrived sometime Sunday morning.  Penny is taking advantage of the newly renovated clan nursery which was just completed weeks earlier.  The renovation includes the KINI broadcasting studio which will be run by the clan itself. 

All the clan members are resting comfortably.  No further information is available at this time.  Photos will be posted into the Mini-K Ranch Photo Gallery as they are made available.  Click HERE to see the new horsie clan photos.  Click HERE to see all the Mini-K Ranch photos made available so far.

Business as Usual Despite Farmer Looking Guy in Overalls Attempt to Bring Back Winter

Mini-K Ranch Underwood, Iowa

Tuesday night temperatures plumited to the mid twenties.  The horsie clan is already pointing hooves at the Farmer Looking Guy in Overalls citing early removal of tank heaters.   "The heaters are our insurance policy and having them in place protects us from cold weather" one clam member stated.  This cold spell comes after a 30 day period with temps reaching up into the 80s at some points.  "This spell won't let up until the tank heaters go back in either".  Still it's business as usual around the ranch.  The horsie clan still patrols the lower pasture and the barn area and the goat clan still stands around saying "Hey" all the time.  The chicken clan is also busy decorating the barnyard area for Halloween.  The Farmer Looking Guy in Overalls refused comment except to say "What the Hell" about 16 times.  

The horsie clan has offered speculation that the cold spell was brought on due to the recent gate incident.  No further comment was offered by the clan but authorities fear the horsie clan has a set of gate keys which allows them free access into unauthorized areas of the ranch.  On multiple incidents, the horsie clan has been spotted having on site meetings in the lower barn yard area when they were supposed to be in isolated barn yards.  The Farmer Looking Guy in Overalls was last seen replacing the gate locks and adding new barn doors in the area of the barn yard area.

No further information was available and authorities can only speculate if the locks were paid for using flowered checks.  The cold spell has no scheduled end date and there has been no word on what the chicken clan will be for Halloween.
