4 legged lawnmowers

Plus they are cute, great pets, affectionate, easy going, look awesome, easy to keep.
Not as damaging as a goat, albeit you need dog proof fencing forrem.

Theres a few round here withem, and a Alapaca farm up Mt Mee, plus a few ppl have camels round here too.

FACT forya, did you know, Australia has more camels than Saudi !!!

Mate for fear of the RSPCA watching this, a fella down in the village, whos son went to school with mine, held Camel fighting contests.

Now anyone who knows camels, knows 2 males together can spell trouble, specially when the female ( sow ) i think.. is on heat.

He used to hold competitions, on which camel would win. Thing is, camels dont bite when fighting, lol.. they just grunt and push each other.

So the compo was just a case of which one backs down first.

Im sure you would have loved it, especially cos the fella also owns the pub !!!!
