One of the highlights
for visitors to Woodlands Farm is seeing the Farm animals at
close quarters: ducks, geese, chickens, sheep, pigs, pony,
goat, not forgetting Neptune and Daisy our two British White
cows.

Bah! We are the sheep and we have been here for nearly five
years now. There are four different breeds of sheep - Romney,
Suffolk, Texel and Lleyn. In the Spring we are very busy
with our lambs. The farmer shears off our fleeces so that
you can wear a woolly jumper when the weather gets cold |

Moo! I'm Neptune, the British White cow. I used to live at
Odds Farm, and came to my new home at Woodlands Farm in June
2007. I like to meet the school groups when they come to visit me
in my field. |
|
Moo!
I'm Daisy, I am a British White cow too. I came to Woodlands
Farm at 8 months old and am settling in well. |
 |
 |
Neigh! I am Bob the Shetland pony. Although I am quite small
I am very strong and tough. The farmer sometimes takes me to
shows, where I give children cart rides. |
|
Cluck! We are the chickens. If
you visit the Farm you will see loads of us wandering around
the farmyard looking for food. Our favourite food is worms.
You can hear us clucking when we lay our eggs! |

 |
Oink! We are the Vietnamese
Pot-Bellied Pigs. We are called Doris and Iris. We sleep a
lot and you may hear us snoring in our shed. We love to roll
around in the mud and splash about in water if it's a hot
sunny day. |
|
Bleat! I am Biskit the grey goat. I found the Farm when I
escaped from my owner. The farmer took me home, but I
escaped again back to the Farm. My owners decided to let me
stay as I liked it so much down here. |
 |
 |
Quack! We are the ducks. We waddle around the farm looking
for food and then we go for a swim. We are good egg layers
and the farm workers like to eat them for their breakfast.
|
|
Honk! We are the geese. We help to guard the place at night
as we make a lot of noise when we see people we don't know! |
