Our little lamb,Trillion, has had her last bottle😢. She’s living happily out in the field with the rest of the flock and is definitely tucking into grass and lamb creep so she will be fine. That doesn’t stop her running over to check for bottles every time she sees us coming though!🍼
Bless, she will miss that extra bottle.
Great result Wes!
Well done, you have done an amazing job !
There’s been several unconfirmed local sightings of what may be Asian hornets. This is how to recognise one:-
Asian hornet (Vespa velutina)
Smaller than native hornets (about 2.5cm)
Orange head from front and black from top
Abdomen almost entirely dark, with fine yellow stripes and a yellow or orange 4th segment near the base
Black or brown thorax
Legs with yellow tips, like they’ve been dipped in paint.
There is a recognition app available to download called Asian Hornet watch
Don’t kill them but report to risc.brc.ac.uk/alert.php?species=asian_hornet
Please do not confuse them with the larger European hornet which has many more yellow stripes, a red thorax and dark legs

We have pigs! Six arrived today – it was very hot so they went straight into the wallow for a muddy dip, then had a little trot round to find their ark & finally stopped for lunch!🐷🐖🐽🐽🐖🐷
As many of you will know the Halfway House is one of our favourite locals – it appears that it has a place in criminal history too!!💎

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it’s been deleted.
Weaners! We are having a lot of trouble finding any piglets this year after being let down – if anyone knows of any that will be ready to leave their mums in the next month or so we would be very grateful!🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷
These were last years🙂
We’re expecting some imminently so would be ready 6 weeks thereafter – they’ll be Berkshire/Tamworth crosses … then thereafter we’ll have pure Berkshires and Berkshire / GOS x ….. and if you want older ones I’ve got loads of Berkshire/Tamworth crosses that were born in Oct last year … ! X
