Swimming Water Buffalo on Youtube
October 13, 2011
I am happy to share this description by Alex of the moment when the water buffalo took possession of their pond: On August 26 we finally opened the fence for our friends to enter the beaches of the newly dug buffy lake. We were quite excited because Ellinor had a dream in which the buffalo could not swim! So we got ready with ropes and a tractor to pull them out if necessary. But then we got to watch the greatest scene ever: In they went, swimming, diving, sometimes all you can see is a nose and then a huge hippo appears or is it a submarine? If you want to see contented happiness in a herd of animals: This is it! And you do have a chance to see this wondrous sight at Sunnivue, each Friday 3:00-6:00 and Saturday 9:00-4:00, while in the farm store Dagmar is filling the shelves with ever more organic produce as the harvest advances. Meanwhile, whether you are near enough to visit the farm or not, I am pleased to say that you have a chance to observe the Sunnivue water buffalo swimming and bathing, since they have now emerged as stars on Youtube. Please go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2ZygAAKOkg for a great treat. And many thanks to Robert Jülke, who is visiting and working at Sunnivue for several months, and who created the video.
