Farming Friends Forever
This summer has been eventful with 2 new Whitebred Shorthorn calves born, who are growing up fast and are a great addition to our rare breed herd.
The cows have had a fabulous summer of eating lots of grass and basking in the sunshine.
The cows are hopefully pregnant and we will be taking care of them throughout the coming Winter.
Our 3 Bagot Billy Goats, Alexander, Athos and Fred are keeping our bull called Optimus company in the I-Spy field, The female and wether goats are munching through a large area of gorse land in a field near the Blackburn and have been very good at their job of conservation grazing They are amazing at eating the harshest of vegetation.
We thank all our supporters of our Rare Breed farm. If you are interested in sponsoring one of our animals as a gift for Christmas, a Birthday or Anniversary please contact us and we will be happy to send photos and updates about life at Cragend Farm. All our animals have official pedigree names and we issue a certificate to the sponsor with their details, how old they are and what they are up to.
Sponsorship can be for a month or for one year from issue.
All donations and sponsorships are helping us raise and protect these fabulous British Breeds from extinction.
Thank you from Shaun & Lou Renwick
