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 Daisy our British White
cow.

Moo! I'm Daisy, I am a
British White cow. I came to Woodlands Farm at 8 months old
and am settling in well. |
Bah! We are the sheep and we have been here for nearly seven
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
you can wear a woolly jumper when the weather gets cold.

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. |
|
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! |
|
Squeak, we are the guinea pigs. We are called Scampi,
and Brandy. Our friend Midnight is keeping warm indoors. We
help to keep the grass cut in the farm yard and love to meet
visitors to the Farm. |
