Cuddle up to and feed our beautiful buffalos at 450 kilos and see the size of our growing cross breeds!

After eating, our buffalo’s next favourite activity is having a bath.  You’ll get to wash them and give

them a scrub.  It’s like a “day spa” for buffalo

The Buffalo may be the stars of the show but our playful pigs, galloping goats and rollicking rabbits are

 also plenty of fun for the young and young at heart!
