The Gentle Barn is home to a wide variety of farm animals, and we love every video they share. They recently celebrated Super Bowl 2026 in the best way possible, by handing out MVP titles to some of their animals, and every single one is perfection!
Watch as each animal is featured and shows exactly why they earned their title. We already have a favorite, and we’re betting you’ll pick one (or two) as well. The music paired with the video is so on point with the NFL theme!
Earl stole our hearts! Who was your favorite?
We loved what The Gentle Barn said in the video’s caption, “Meet the Gentle Barn’s Super Bowl MVP’s! Technically all of our animals are our MVP’s, but here are some special highlights of our family that brings us joy every single day.” This is why everybody loves The Gentle Barn; their animals are all part of one big family!

Another commenter asked if the animals were in California or Tennessee, both of which have Gentle Barn sanctuaries. All the animals featured in this video are at the California sanctuary, but we know there are just as many adorable animals at the Tennessee location, too!
