Our Animals
All around the Farm are examples of the usual farm animals you would expect to see as well as some less common creatures. Our animals’ welfare is of paramount importance to us. They are happy, very friendly and are looking forward to meeting you. Look out for: |
|
| Cows | We have different breeds for you to spot including Friesian Holstein, Hereford and Jerseys. The maternity bay is on permanent view to the public and if you wish, you may bottle feed the calves. |
| Goats | There are always over 100 kids on the Farm. The younger ones need to be bottle-fed, while the larger ones eat from plates! |
| Poultry | We have lots of chickens to see and in our new Chick Shed, you can see how the chicks develop from eggs through to fully grown chickens. During the small animal handling sessions, you will get the opportunity to hold the baby chicks. As well as chickens, we have ducks (and sometimes ducklings), geese and turkeys. Chickens are available for sale to good homes. |
| Pigs | You can see a variety of breeds such as Kune Kune, Large White and Wessex Saddleback. Look out as we quite often have a litter of piglets, which you will be able to see. |
| Horses | We have several horses, ponies and donkeys to meet. They range in breed and size from our tiny Shetland ponies Ben and Joe to our enormous - but gentle, Shire horse Billy. |
| Rabbits | We have lots of rabbits and guinea pigs. You can hold the babies during the small animal handling sessions. Kerry is in charge of the rabbit and guinea pig breeding programme – they are available for sale to good homes. |
| Alpacas | Alpacas look like small llamas – they are very woolly and very friendly too. Come and meet Tommy and Chuckie and look out for Inky, Ash, Peter and Roo too! |
