Celebrating Jack the Llama, RIP sweet beast
Thursday, 03 January 2019 12:51
We are heartbroken to share the sad news of the passing of our beloved Jack the llama. He died as he lived his years here at the estate: surrounded by his flock of adoring sheep. He will be missed by many. Hundreds of visiting students were delighted to feed him out of their little hands and often said it was their favorite moment of their day-long field trip. We hope you had a chance to meet him. He'll be in our hearts forever.
Enjoy these, some of our favorite photos of that sweet wonderful beast or check out this slideshow or this recent photo montage on Jack the Llama's facebook page.
