Farm Animals

The little barn here at Northern Acres has been home to all kinds of animals-everything from sheep to chinchillas to llamas to horses and donkeys and chickens. It is a welcoming place-like Kate has often said, the animals are always glad to see you.  So here are a few shots of the current residents, and one who decided to take a walkabout. He was easily persuaded to return to his stall with the hard to resist temptation of grain.

This sign says it all!

I guess the old girls read the sign!

Still wandering!
