At the Black Sheep, we are sloshing through the worst mud we have ever seen in the sanctuary's seven years. Heavy rain, and the even heavier feet of the sanctuary pigs have churned the pig paddock into a pool of mud. The goats are also suffering in the wet and slippery conditions - goats hate the rain, and enjoy warm dry weather. Both the pigs and the goats are now at risk of footrot. We urgently need to install major new drainage systems.
So we've launched our biggest fundraiser ever, to hire a truck and digger so we can drain the mud in the paddocks, add gravel, landscape the goat paddocks, and improve drainage. With the help of generous supporters, we've raised just over $5000, and we're booked in to start the work in early November. However we need to bring in a further $2000 to cover all the earthwork that needs doing to create a long-term fix for our mud crisis.
Donations are extremely welcome, and are tax-deductible. You can donate through:
