Farm Day at the Zoo

It’s hard work running a farm, especially with all the animals that need attention…goats, donkeys, chickens, alpaca, geese and more.  The zoo will show you how it’s done.  Spring is sheep shearing time, when the zoo will remove the heavy winter coats from its flock. Professional sheep shearer Pete Sepe of Sepe Farms will demonstrate how the wool is expertly sheared.
