It's a big moment for Shire foal Herkules as he joins his owner Phil for a bit of training in the farmyard.

There's absolutely no questioning Phil's expertise in this arena - so here's a sneak peek of that happening.

Every season there are always some lovely new arrivals who notch a little special place in our hearts...and here is Farmer Kate with some of her favourites that she's caring for in our 'creche.'

It's 3am and Farmer Dave has delivered twins...and they are absolute whoppers.

Watch what happens in the minutes after birth as he helps a very attentive mum tend to her babies.

Every season we have a core group of lambs and kids who need a little help and require bottle-feeding. In 2023, for the first time ever, we are inviting small numbers of our visitors to help us do this. Book your VIP slot online on our website (you can also buy passes as gifts).

At this time of year, we have a night shift of farmers covering our roundhouse, making sure to offer any extra help to those that need on.

On his night shift, Farmer Dave had to intervene for a very tricky lambing...this is where the experience comes in handy.

There's some exciting new arrivals in our small mammal house - have you ever seen a baby hairy armadillo before? You have now!

We are through the bulk of lambing for February so it is time to turn our attention over to our pygmy goats who are due to start kidding next.

Farmer Darrell thinks the newborns are the cutest ones we have on the farm - what do you reckon?

There's some big news for Helen our alpaca - and we couldn't be more thrilled.

From nursing her as a vulnerable cria, to leading her into adulthood and introducing her to her boyfriend Graham, we've shared many of her milestones with our Facebook following...and now we have more news:

She's pregnant! Who is excited?

We've got some triplet boer goats who have needed a little bit of extra care - so they've been in our care unit receiving round the clock attention from our team.

Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes when this happens?

Wonder no more...

Prince our reindeer has got to that age where he just isn't bothered about running for election as leader in the pack - so our young lad Roger is stepping up to the post. #newalpha

Meet Elsie, the cutest little mini donkey foal you'll ever see. She's like a fluffy little teddy bear and we can't get enough of her. She loves hanging out with her best pal Muffin.

Here we go! More new arrivals today in our roundhouse maternity unit - and it's all systems go.

Three singles lambs born so far today - how many do you think we will get tomorrow?
