“It’s a solemn day at #StillwaterRanch as Prince Rupert the ram passed away. 🥺,” the Guardians of the Galaxy star, 41, captioned a black-and-white Instagram photo in the animal’s honor on Thursday, June 25. “He took his final rest right next to the still water of the lake under a 100 year old apple tree. I’m very sad. I was the only one who could wrestle him down to clip his hooves. He was a big cuddler and sported the thickest most beautiful chocolate coat. He will live on in our hearts and at the farm as many of his lambs will enter the flock this year. #RIPrupert.”

“Mama heifer was one of our working ladies,” the Parks and Recreation alum explained via Instagram alongside a photo of the little cow. “We didn’t even know she was pregnant!!! Maybe she wasn’t! Maybe it was immaculate conception! ARE YOU READY FOR A MIRACLE!? Cue gospel music!!!”
