Royal Easter Show Part 2

The little roosters, Donald & I crowed our way through the goat and pig hall on our way to the farm animal nursery.  I love the goats they have such character about them and man those sows are huge, can you imagine breast feeding 12 piglets?  

The farm animal nursery area was all enclosed so that the sheep, goats and chickens could wander amongst the people.  The enclosure was also surrounded by caged animals, donkey, cattle dog and pups, ducklings, bunnies etc......
 


Our favourite was the gorgeous little kids, Toby seemed to grow an attachment to one in particular.  It was such a tiny little thing too, it musn't have been more than a week or two old it was so soft and gentle I just wanted to take it home with us. 

 


You could buy a cup full of feed for the animals and Toby desperately wanted one, so he found an empty cup and madly stuffed it with straw from the ground to feed to the goats.  



We finally relented and bought a cup full, much to Toby's delight............those sheep quickly found out who had some feed.

Wish I'd have gone now! What delicious memories you're giving them. I'm sure they tried to stay there all day.
