Young farmers sheep,  goat, alpaca, pig pregnancy scanning

A special session for our young farmers to attend. Many of them have been involved in the ewes pregnancy from pre tupping through until now, so this is a great way for them to find out the results.

Join our farmers today and assist us with pregnancy scanning  our ewes,  nanny goats, alpacas and pigs. Dan the sonographer will spend a little time with each of the young farmers, showing them how he scans and what he sees on the screen.

Their tasks during the session will be:

Feed all of the farms animals

Bed up the barn & refill water  

Set up the sheep race and assist with driving the ewes through the sheep race and into the scanning crate. Spray a colour dot on the ewes back relevant to the number of lambs she is carrying.

 Watch the animals being scanned and learn how to read the results. Spray a colour dot on the ewes back relevant to the number of lambs she is carrying.

 Assist with returning the ewes to the field.

 Sat 11th January

YOUNG FARMERS After School club 2025

Frampton farm after school club meet on Wednesdays from March to October.

This is a club for our young farmers committee members and those who have attended other sessins for at least 6 months.

 This term is all about baby animals being born, the young farmers will be assisting with cleaning the barn and poly tunnel, moving ewes and lambs into the nursery poly tunnel, possibly seeing lamb, kids and piglets being born. Meeting the babies and learning what we need to do once a baby is born including seeing tail docking, castration and ear tagging.  

Please note that many of our animals birth during the night time so there is no guarentee of seeing a birth. Sadly labour does occasionally go wrong and there is a very small chance that they may experience a still birth.          

Cost £12.50 per week payable a term at a time.

We will also be working towards AQA certification in the sessions.
