PICACHO, AZ — As part of out ' One Tank Trip' series on Good Morning Tucson, we're bringing you to fun places all over southern Arizona, where you go there and back on a tank of gas.You've probably seen the sign off the highway, right in front of Picacho Peak. Yes, the name is a nod to the old western movie 'Rooster Cogburn.' The man the character is based on, was actually a distant relative of the owners.
On our visit, we started out petting and feeding the mini donkeys, which came from Italy. One by one, they've all taught themselves tricks to encourage you to feed them first. One nods her head when you talk to her - always answering"yes" to your question. Another smiles big when you compliment her, but only if she doesn't have food in her mouth.Next to the donkeys, you'll find the fallow deer from Europe.
"They don't have teeth but they'll scare the bejeebies out of you," Danna explained."You just take one or two pieces, hold it close to the fence, and make them reach down where they can just barely eat it out of your hand." There's also a scientific marvel at the ranch, some special sheep that shed their wool in the summer. Most of them came to the ranch from the University of Utah.
