About Bagby's Critter Corral

Meet Lamonte & Sandy Bagby

We have over 30 years experience working with children and animals. We now call the chicken farm where Lamonte was raised home. He has a love of the land and all God’s critters.


Sandy worked in the school systems with special needs and typical children for over 14 years. She has a true love of all living critters and loves sharing them with others.


After raising our sons we wanted to create a way to share God’s love through our love of animals. Children and adults need to have opportunities to learn about, touch, love on and just spend time with our animals to see the wonderful and various creatures God created in our wonderful world.

We live in a converted chicken house on Lamonte’s family farm. We finished 3200 square feet for our home and the rest is for our pets, the Critter Corral critters.we love living close to all our babies. HGTV heard about our strange house and came in 2013 and filmed a segment for their show “You live in what.” This segment is set to air on August 15, 2014.
