Well, Minimoore Fred and Basil twin wethers out of Minimoore Lavender and Minmoore Thor born February 2024 are back.
I had a call from the owner of theses two lovely pet boys and unfortunately his circumstances had changed due to family illness and loss of land. They needed a a home, So asked if we could help them out.
They have been very well cared for and are in great condition.
Holly is very happy to see these two boys back.
