Great team on a hot day.

The Lambeth show is an amazing collection of food and music from around the world and an a farm section on the side. Incredible to think you are in the middle of London. The people are so interested to learn about where their food comes from and introduce their children to the animals. It is an honour to be invited to this show including the many city farms around and in the capital that help to educate and train the younger generation.

Eddie was born on 4th May 2019. His mothers udders were so low to the ground we had to shut them in and put him onto the teet every 4 hours or so to make sure he got the hang of getting on his knees to reach them. After a few days he was going on with our help and staying there. Within a week he was nursing himself and the udders had raised up considerably. This has been an ongoing problem with this cow and it may be we have to think about not calving from her again.

Lambing started today with the arrival of our first ever set of Quads!
