Title: We made it into the papers!
Post by: Hillview Farm on February 27, 2014, 09:53:14 am: Just picked up the local new paper and we have a half page spread! Seems there was another attack 5 days after my sheep were attacked just a few miles from us. Jack has been a very good model and is the main picture!
