Zoo Delights Grandchildren at Desoto Farm Menagerie
Earl Ryan, a DeSoto Arabian horse trainer, keeps about 45 Arabians with two Japanese deer, a llama, a spider monkey, peacocks, turkeys, geese, dogs, cats and a fish pond on his farm. His grandchildren Pepper and Janie Sue Crownover enjoy the animals as does Sandy the llama. Ryan plans to continue his daily work and pet collection, saying retirement is not in his plans.
