We have always had animals on the farm, but Annie the sheep was our first pet.  We were treating her for hoof-rot and she moved into our back yard because she needed company.  From there we have expanded and now have 42 sheep ranging from Shetland, Jacob, Dorset crosses and Cotswold.  We also have four goats. Penelope is our miniature donkey.  You can also see many chickens and guinea hens.  New this year, we have two mules named Sally Blue and Kit.  Our miniature horse is named Silver - she stands only 3 feet tall.  We also have a horse named Red and a hinny named Samuel (a hinny is the offspring of a male horse and a female donkey).
