Lots happening even though lambing nearly over, we have a new puppy called Jen and Molly the Sannan Goat has had a female kid called Dawn.
I have visited Bryncethin and Abercerdin Schools and hope they are following us on the website. The children in Abercerdin were excited to hear their own voices as they helped me with the "hear some facts" section.
Enjoy Farm Life

Wool and lambs
The wool initiative by Prince Charles has had an impact into school life we have been asked for fleeces for spinning and felting projects within the classroom. If you need to purchase fleeces we still have some left please contact us.
Lambing is happening quickly, Sunday morning was not peaceful as 15 sets of twins caused a bit of confusion with their mothers this morning but all sorted now

Prince Charles & The future of Wool
An initiative was launched by Prince Charles to enhance the qualities of wool.
A spokesman from Clarence House said: ‘The Prince was getting very concerned about the prices that farmers were getting for their fleeces and decided that something had to be done to help them.
R Whitefoot came to film our ewe lambs that have just been sheared to report on "the Future of Welsh Wool" if you wish to read more Welsh Wool a bleak future?
Wool can be used for felting, spinninng and knitting, insulation,weaving for clothes and carpet support a natural product buy wool!
We are just starting to lamb and our first set of twins appeared on Valentine's Day so keep an eye on our webcam.

Bonjour!
We had our 3rd visit from an agricultural college in France they must enjoy it here. Most of this years students were dairy farmers so they were curious about sheep farming. Husband promised to get County up and running this year as not a lot happened since they saw it last.
The college is Issat de Chatelet and we hope to visit them and Jean Claude one day.

They also were off to visit a large dairy Farm in the Vale of Glamorgan in the evening. Our welsh weather didn't let us down it was a damp and miserable Feb day!!
Earlier in the day we had a visit from Rebecca Whitefoot, studying journalism in UWIC she has been given agriculture and made a film about the future of Welsh Wool in response of Prince Charles's new campaign.
