Albans Barnyard – holiday cottages & smallholding + Pedigree Jacob Sheep & North Devon Red Ruby Cattle
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. 😢
Phew – what a week, but just because it's hot it doesn't mean the work stops – so the all the ewes got shorn! We think they were pleased to get their winter coats off .
Hopefully, next year we won't pick a day with a record breaking temperature!🥵
Poor old shearer, 🤣🤣🤣
Our latest arrival! The first calf of 2026🥰
That's a 'don't mess with my calf' look
