Unlikely band of brothers rule the roost at Farmer Palmers
A motley crew of farm park animals have formed an unlikely family all of their own at Farmer Palmers Farm Park in Organford, Dorset.
With an oink, oink here and a baa, baa there, Gingy the pig, Ducky the duck, Bramble the pigmy goat and Larry the lamb are known as the park’s little superheroes and cannot live without each other.
The unlikely bond between them has created a brand new family within the park, which is proving popular with visitors.
For various reasons these animals were each rejected by their own kind and found themselves very much outsiders. Animal barn leader, Katie Lester, decided to try putting them in a pen together, a somewhat unprecedented idea as different species don’t often share spaces within the farm park.
But from day one the animals seemed so much happier in themselves. The animal barn team could never have imagined how well a pig, duck, pigmy goat and lamb would get along. In the morning Ducky, Bramble and Larry hurry outside together to their pen to be reunited with Gingy.
Katie said: “On the day Larry the lamb was booked in for his vaccinations, we kept him out the back to wait for our vet, rather than in the display pen. The other animals were so annoyed at being separated that they all quacked, oinked and bleated at full volume!
“Luckily Larry was back by lunchtime and peace was restored. Our regular visitors were quick to spot him missing though, this little band of brothers have become quite the celebrities around here.”
