• We’re over half way through lambing season: over 90 Lleyn and Black Welsh Mountain lambs have been born so far.
• One of our Berkshire gilts has had a litter of 6 this week. A small litter is not unusual for the first time, but we do hope she produces 10 or more next time.
• At last the grass is beginning to grow. The severe winter has delayed spring growth which has meant that we have used nearly 50% more straw and silage this year than last. All the cows will be turned out to grass in the next two weeks.
• We have hatched our first goose – the youngster is doing well!
• We’re starting to see the blossoms on our strawberry plants – look out for Church Farm strawberries in the café very soon.
• Mutton is now available in the store. Useful information can be found here: http://www.muttonrenaissance.org.uk/
