Has anyone any experience in these? OH has found an advert for them and is going to see them. They are like wild buffalo only 2' high Sorry, but can't you just hear the neighbours Bad enough with our strange chickens - some of which are taller than the buffalo

He's only thinking of me! Being away so much, he thought they may be easier to handle than AA, which is his other contender. In theory slightly less impact of the land too.

I can see that Alcoholics Annonymous would be better for the environment than cattle, but why the comparison?

Wild buffalo are mean critters, that was the standard house cattle in Pakistan till a few years ago. Maybe the mini ones have a better temperament

Buffalo. Ulster Armagh Pot belly, due in 2wks, just like wild buffalo but are only 2' tall, much the same as a pot belly pig, very tame, 8 males & 6 females, �80. 079-68139856 [save ad] Actually. Mike's first choice would be Dexter, but they have a reputation, thanks to Hugh, of being hard to handle? This is me thinking of coping solo during the week
