Old Macdonald had a farm in Somerset: and on that farm he had lots of sheep, numerous cows, a few pigs, a duck, a cockerel and a couple of geese:

Sadly someone had parked their car in front of the mural, so I couldn't take a photo of the whole herd at once.  I think this mural was painted by Simon Watson in 2013.
