Well we had 91 acres at the zoo grounds including the parking lots. I had always wanted a breeding farm. In an interview with a newspaper one time, they asked me what my dreams was. And I said, “Well someday I hope we would have a breeding farm, an outlying area where we could breed some of the endangered species. Because now we had two or three yards with Speke’s gazelle and two or three yards with lesser kudu and multiple exhibits in order to have the breeding population. I was hoping we’d have a breeding farm where we could expand our populations and have just one family of each on display. A lady read that in the newspaper and she called me up. Of course we had many offers, people wanting to sell us property.
