Animal farm visit

We visited our favourite animal farm this week.  We watched the sheep shearing and cow milking and handled and fed some of the baby animals.  I selected a few rare breed just shorn fleeces.  I chose golden tan manx loghtan and tan castlemilk moorit, white ewe lamb kerry hill and white norfolk horn.

Not a good picture but baby donkeys are so sweet.

Highland calf

Gloucester Old Spot piglet.  By far the cutest!

    Wow there are some animals there that I have never seen. Those goats! Think I need to knit one...

    I bet the boys had fun.

    Happy day to you Kelly

    Hi Suzanne
    It is one of our favourite places to visit. Always lots of wool to buy at this time of year and so many interesting animals to enjoy. Lots of knitting inspiration there, Suzanne!

    Hi Linda
    We watched those little piglets for a long time! The boys love visiting that farm. The donkeys are adorable too but goodness, what a noise they can make!
