2015 Goslings first day out in the meadow
Today our 4 week old goslings had their first full day out in the fields – lovely sunny day they enjoyed eating the grass, sunning themselves and playing in the water. Getting them back into the barn at night was tricky, they would happily live out, but it’s a bit cold at night and they would be easy prey for our local fox population.
Belted Galloways at Carr Farm !
April has seen the arrival at Carr Farm of our beautiful little herd of belted galloway cattle. Our group of cattle arrived after a long journey from West Yorkshire and were pleased to be let out onto the lush Waveney Valley grazing marshes.
Our cattle will be fully raised on a grass based diet with winter forage consisting or hay and haylage. They overwinter outside but we have the option to bring them into straw bedded barns if required.
All of our cattle are registered with the Belted Galloway Cattle Society and it is our intention to increase and add to the herd size in the coming years.
