Strange creatures graze in his fields
by Scott Hilgegdorff
Almost hidden between the subdi-
visions that dot the B Line north of
Kincardine and the Bruce Nuclear
Power Development is a sight that
brings motorists to a halt on the
highway.._
Strange creatures with faces like
Ewoks from the Star Wars movies
stand grazing in a field, oblivious to
the vehicles passing by, the
passengersstopping to take a look.
"The odd time I've been out in
the field, [cars have stopped] and a
few times [people] have got out to
take picteres," said Randy Baker,
who owns the farm on the B Line
north of Kincardine where the
strange creatures dwell.
Mr. Baker, who works at the
Bruce Nuclear Power Development,
said people at work who drive by
his farm have asked him whether
they are yaks or beefalo.
• But really, the strange animals are
just cattle; Scottish Highland Cattle
covered with long hair in varying
shade's of browns, blacks and reds.
These animals make up only one
of the strange. sights found roaming
the fields or' barn yards of Mr.
Baker's 109 acre farm called the
Ceadrebrae Retreat. Among the
other strange sights are two small,
wrinkle -faced creatures prowling
the barn yard and sheep that have
no wool. •
The anirtials with the ^ wrinkly
faces are Vietnamese pot-bellied
pigs and, along with Nubian goats,
Jacobs and Barbados sheep and a
llama named Jeremy, roam the
