The piglets are coming on Monday so today’s job was clearing the trees that fell on the pig ark in the storms! Jasper didn’t get any home schooling on this subject for health & safety reasons!!🐷🐷🐖🐖🌬🌳🔥
Grandson Jasper has had some home schooling on the farm this week:
Lesson 1) Bottlefeeding a lamb!🙂
What a difference a day makes – after the sun yesterday the lambs were sheltering from hail showers today!🌨🌬
Our cows have felt a bit left out during lambing so here they are having their breakfast this morning – it was a bit breezy!
We think that this is a brilliant initiative by the Halfway House & were only too pleased to help! Please keep sharing – there are probably loads more people out there who could benefit!Please share this! We have 10 people signed up to meals for this week and are so so pleased with how it’s going. We already have an extra 10 signed up for next week but we are capable of doing a lot more! The response has been amazing!
“Best meal I’ve had in years.”
“The highlight of my day.”
Big thanks to Sankey’s and Albans Barnyard who have donated beautiful food to us for it. Call us on 01892722526 between 12 & 2.30 or 5 & 9 today to get setup.
Lambs enjoying racing in the sunshine this morning (after even more rain!!!!)🌞
A lovely set of triplets arrived this afternoon – 2 ewes & a ram lamb!
If you haven’t watched the lambcam yet then the next couple of days are your last chance as there is only one ewe left to lamb! She’s expecting triplets.

It’s been a busy week keeping up with the lambs so we haven’t had much time for posting.
Here’s the start of a few updates!🐏🐏
We had our first lambing drama! We couldn’t budge a huge single lamb & mum started to bleed so we feared the worst. As the vet was already out on a call the quickest way to get treatment was to take the poor ewe to the surgery which we duly did. The vet managed to get the lamb out and, much to our surprise, it was alive! Picture shows them straight after.
Mum & lamb are still doing well!
What an awful day – much worse than forecast – so really pleased to see mums & lambs all tucked up in their little shelter this evening.
As the lambing pens were filling up fast we had to move some of the lambs outside yesterday. Then the rain came & it looks as though it’s here to stay for a bit so we put up a little shelter – they seem to have taken to it & were all tucked up there this morning.🐏🌧🌧
Here’s a photo of this (very early) morning’s triplets. It’s been a great first day of Spring – the sun even shone & no sign of Storm Jorge!🙂☀️
