More
about the Farm |
| We have a herd
of horned and un-horned goats that live on a side of the sanctuary called
"Five Acres", in a stable block and a big barn. Also a
herd of horned and un-horned that live at "Lord's Acre" next
door in similar accommodation. We also have made use of two large
"polytunnels" for daytime use and a breeze-block built hospital
facility. |

Peggy. She was attacked by a dog in
Yorkshire when she was a kid. The leg becomes a horizontal
aerodynamic accessory when she runs! |

......a
final thought.....
At the end of the day, when the water
buckets are filled and the racks stuffed with hay, the farm is filled with
the sound of munching. But if you walk through the yard at 1am, the
sound of overwhelming contentment fills the night. Peep over a
stable door and you're met with the sight of a family curled up in a
corner gently cuddling. Safe and secure.....looking forward to
tomorrow.
The centuries have produced an animal
that offers mankind unreserved trust, love and respect.......it's sad that
mankind does not always return it or deserve it! |
