• Walkabout the FARMY with the Big Animals

  Day Two of the Farmy Round up. Wow. It takes two days to walkabout the farmy now.  So much to see. Here is a grubby Paisley Daisy… ..with her good friend Queenie Wineti.  We tried to breed daisy twice this season but both times it did not take.  Then it was too late in the…
