Zoos with the best use of domestics

[Antimony96]

Rather than just having a cordoned-off petting zoo with goats and chickens, or not having domestics at all, what are some good examples of zoos that work domestic species into their themed areas in clever and well-executed ways? One that immediately springs to mind is the guinea pig village at Nashville's Expedition Peru.

I think often in Africa themed parts of the zoo you can find little 'villages' where some domestic animals are displayed, especially cattle (like zebu, watussi), goats and chicken.

For example at Zoo Osnabrücks Takamanda you can find a playground designed like a village where donkeys are housed and in the past had also chickens and goats.
Wildlands Emmen starts it's Serenga of with an African village displaying different domestic animals and also keeps cattle next to the safari bus stop.

Basel uses its domestics to introduce children to hands on work with animals.

Columbus Zoo shows domestic dogs with cheetah, to show how guard dogs protect livestock from cheetahs.

Several zoos use native sheep like Ouessant sheep in exhibits as lawn-movers.

It would be interesting if some zoo showed how wildlife habitats are taken over by domestic animals ranching / grazing. For example, on a savanna exhibit with giraffe and zebra, put some African sheep.

I think this is done by some American zoos/safaris with Ankole already. Albeit, in a matter without any context.
