Animals at Lower Moor Farm
We have two dogs, Tilly and Bailey, a shitzu x and a cockerpoo. We also have 3 cats Pixie, Misty and Luna. They can quite often be found sleeping in a hay rack during the day.
The barns have housed a variety of animals including horses, pigs, chickens, sheep throughout the centuries.
We are often very busy in the spring with lambing and kidding. It is a joy to see the new-born lambs and kids skipping and jumping around the yard and fields. We are keen to keep rare breed animals so we currently have 5 Golden Guernsey goats - Honey, Willow, Daffodil, Bumble and Bea. We also have a small flock of Black Welsh Mountain sheep.
The goats currently share the barn with our 3 chickens who provide us with free-range fresh eggs and we also have 4 ducks, who enjoy our newly installed pond.
Animal feeding takes place around 8 in the morning and 5-6 in the evening. You are more than welcome to join us and help feed the animals and see how we look after them.
We have housed 3 sets of Oxford Sandy and Black pigs at the top of the garden that have provided us with delicious pork, sausages, bacon and chops.
