It's been a while since our blog has been updated but lots has been happening.
We now have 500 bales of hay for winter and four calves- two boys and two girls.
More details and pictures will be added shortly.

We will have Dexter Beef in time for Christmas, final dates have to be confirmed
but here is your chance to have locallay reared grass fed beef for the Christmas
period. Keep watching for further information.

Have you seen our ducks/poultry for sale page? We currently have ducks and black orpington cockerels for sale. There will be Orpington hens available later in  the year.
Dexter calves are due at the end of July/August, we are hoping for 4, pictures will be on the website as they are born. Nutlin Poppadom the bull has been booked again for the autumn.
The grass is now growing well, hopefully we will soon get a dry spell allo

The runner ducks are growing fast and now have a new home on the patio.
Today was their first day of exploring, Daisy the cat can be seen watching on.
Now that they have feathers the ducks can have a larger pool of water, they thought this was great fun as the video below shows.

We have now sold all of our Dexter Beef. If you would like us to contact you when our next beef is available please send us your details via the contact us page.
We are expecting beef to be available in time for Christmas 2012.

We now have a range of youngstock growing on.

Rocky's first babies are deveoping well and the first cockerel has started to crow. We are hoping that the hens will be good layers with large brown or blue/green eggs. If the hens are as we hope we will continue with this cross next year and have hatching eggs, youngstock and point of lay birds available .

Bertie's babies are also continuing to grow, once sexed we will be offering some of these black orpingtons for sale.

Mrs duck has done us proud and hatched 13 ducklings, she brought her babies out to show them off for the first time this morning.Pictures will be available soon.

We have also hatched a number of mallard x campbell duckings in the incubator, we will be starting to offer these for sale shortly.

Friday started with chicken houses being cleaned out and chickens being moved around making room for eight new hens who are just starting to lay. The hens were collected and settled comfortably into their new home.
We had been planning to collect 50 bales of hay for the horses and cows over the weekend but as the weather forecast was not good we collected late on Friday afternoon instead.
By 7.30pm the hay was stacked, the animals put to bed and we were on our way home. A big thank you to Dad for his help; those hay bales were heavy.

Our duckling now has friends, we now have 6 ducklings, I will post pictures as soon as possible. Tomorrow will be a busy day as the horses need to have a new grazing area fenced and we have 8 new chickens arriving.
The new birds are just starting to lay we will therefore have more chicken eggs for sale.
