What farm activities you can see from your Hideaway...

April on the farm is one of the busiest times of the year. Our Aberdeen Angus and Hereford cows are calving and our sheep have started lambing. If you go for a walk to the Balkello Community Woodland you will see many of our new born calves and lambs in the fields adjoining. 

Our sheep are "Easy Care" sheep - they are bred to require minimal assistance at lambing and lamb outdoors in the field. We do still have a few sheep left to give birth and we are currently feeding a few orphan lambs with milk. 

In addition to calving and lambing we are sowing barley in the ground which will be harvested in September.
