Sheep The ancient breed of Jacob sheep have distinctive white fleeces with black spots, some have horns. Crossed with our Kerry Hill ram the ewes produce predominately black lambs.

Pigs The Kune Kune pigs originated from New Zealand. They are ginger and black with comical turned up snouts and piri piris hanging from their chins.

Cows During the summer our dairy herd of black and white friesians graze our fields in rotation. They come in for milking at 6am and 4pm every day.

Pigs Each of our cows produces one calf a year. Calvings are spread throughout the year so that there are always calves of all ages. Some are pure bred friesians and some are half Hereford.

Donkeys Donkeys love the company of people and always come to the fence to make friends.

Ponies Our Miniature Shetland ponies have difficulty keeping their weight down and often have to be kept inside to restrict their diets.

Goats The goats love to show off their mountaineering skills by climbing up the rocks.

Poultry The hen runs are home to pure breeds including huge Buff Orpingtons and Jersey Giants, lavender Araucana which lay blue eggs, and tiny Peking bantams with their feathered feet.

Ducks The ducks are a mixed flock and include the pure white Aylsburys, and the upright Indian Runners.

Guinea Pigs It is hard to believe how many colour ranges these little creatures come in! Always friendly and always producing babies!
