Albans Barnyard
Albans Barnyard – holiday cottages & smallholding + Pedigree Jacob Sheep & North Devon Red Ruby Cattle
The weather held! 🌞
The 2026 hay crop has been cut and baled. The quantity is a bit disappointing – the lack of rain early on & then the extreme heat have definitely taken their toll but it looks & smells amazing!🌾☀️
No wrapping this year – we have new undercover storage so none of that nasty plastic needed 💚
Walking past the pole barn yesterday. Can confirm it smells good. Impressive barn too.
LOOK!!!! We have sheepskins back in stock (and finally some time to list them! 😂)
Here they all are, if you would like to buy one, please message us with the number of the one you would like & when you would like to collect – and yes, we will post at cost. 📮 🙂
Single sheepskin £95
Double £210
All these are produced from our own flock, grazed here in Kent, and each one is unique as no two sheep have the same markings! 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍
The skins are tanned by Devonia, the oldest remaining tannery in the UK so you can be sure they are of the highest quality!🙂
These are beautiful!!!
Could we have the shearling please. Can pop up this weekend. Whenever you're free. Please.
The second half of the week has been much better!
Here's our latest arrival – a beautiful new calf🥰
This has been a week of two halves. It started badly when we found one of our best ewes dead in the field – no signs of illness or distress beforehand and no obvious cause of death. 😢
Luckily her single lamb is old enough to fend for himself.
This photo is of her taking the Jacob Championship at the Edenbridge & Oxted Agricultural Show as a shearling in 2023🏆
Oh sorry to hear
That's upsetting. So sorry
Oh no. Sorry sorry. That’s awful. 😢
