@wreckingpress7080 8 месяцев назад

Great grandfather had kept a small town on his farm, most of the farmers would exterminate them as the livestock would break their legs in the holes on occasion. He fenced off a little area away from the grazing pastures and let them have it as they are pretty entertaining to watch and figured they were there first. Only occasionally culling them when they encroched on the pasture.
