hello  from our animals

Most of the animals on our farm are pets, however we do have some breeding animals who's babies will be sold to other farmers or at market.  

Our pet animals are a friendly bunch and are used to seeing visitors. Most love a fuss and to be hand fed, although we do have a few who can be a little grumpy and we will not enter paddocks with them. 

 Below you can learn about our animals, all of our pets have names, some of the breeding sheep are not named as they are in fields that are not accesible to some visitors.
