Title: So that's what those humps were for
Post by: Dan on April 16, 2012, 01:26:43 pm

When we moved here we wondered why there were several big humps of earth along one side of one of our paddocks. Last night we found out:  :)

They are all technically coloured Ryelands. They all have coloured mothers, but the tup is a registered white Ryeland.
