Highland cows tend to steal the camera.

Family-Founded. Professionally Operated.
The Barnyard at 2R Ranch was founded by Rylee and Chris with a simple goal: create animal experiences people genuinely remember.
What began with a love for animals has grown into a mobile event company serving families, schools, wedding venues, businesses, and communities throughout North Texas.
Today, our trained Barnyard team brings those experiences directly to our clients while maintaining the animal care, personal service, and attention to detail the company was built on.
We love what we do — and we think you'll understand why the moment the trailer doors open.
