Lambing will start around the 21st April with calving following a bit later.

Silage

Yesterday the cows had a special delivery of 16 bales of silage. Which is conserved grass. They are eating about 4 bales a week now but hopefully the grass will start growing soon!

An SWT calf, tucking into SWT hay, made on an SWT reserve by SWT staff and volunteers. Now that’s self sufficiency!

80 odd ewes showing just how much they like going for trailer rides. They came running to greet me!
