More Information.... Lamb Cam
We hope you have enjoyed watching, Lam Cam will return in Spring 2016
We first opened up the farm over 30 years ago, so that everyone could come and see the lambs at Easter, but just in case you miss the vital moment, the introduction of our LAMB-CAM, in 2012 meant you could see what's happening throughout the day, and we will keep you updated with events.

The sheep we keep are the Mule ewes, a popular cross breed which gives plenty of lambs. They are due to start lambing close to Easter in late March, and the majority of the ewes will lamb over 3 weeks, and the rest over the following 3 weeks. When a sheep is due to lamb she becomes restless and you will see her straining, (which can sometimes be confused with stretching).
