We have a new permanent resident here on the Croft. Meet Dellie. She is a cross breed and has come from a Farm, where she has been non-stop escaping. She is a dear wee piggie. We have put her next to Flora, as she was lonely and just wanted a pal. The plan will be that if they both get on ok then we will open up Flora's enclosure for both of them. She is now in 2 lots of stock fencing along with electric fencing 🙈🙈. Time will tell to see if it keeps her in. Oh yes and she is hopefully 'in pig'... 🐖🐖

Christmas Turkeys

TURKEYS

Just to let you all know that we are NOT taking any more orders for Turkeys this year. If you were thinking of messaging us now, I am only taking names to go on the waiting list. Sorry about this...... 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃

Tupping Time 😱

Well it's that time again, however we are doing this a wee bit earlier this year.
A nearby Farm, Dell Farm, has very kindly lent us one of their Tups (male sheep), as ours is our 8 girls (Gimmers - first timmers), daddy, so unfortunately we can't use him on them. This bad boy will be with the girls for at least 3 weeks. He is a beauty....
Our other male will be with 5 of our older ladies in 3 weeks time.
Then it will be 🤞🤞 for lambs around February time 2022 😱😱

Can't resist taking photos of our latest litter, of gorgeous OSB Snorters. They are so happy rooting and playing around.

Weaners

Busy morning with ear tagging and walking Apple and her 8, not so wee, Snorters to the top of the Croft. Babes loving their new enclosure with mummy.... ❤️🐽

Piggies

Our 8 little stonkers are amazing. All 8 are thriving. It's their last night in the Barn before they are out in the big wide world 💖💖. Just over 2 weeks old and it will be ear tagging tomorrow, checking them all and taking them up to their new area of grass and weeds to root around..........

22/08/2021

Am wondering if anyone would be interested in:

x1 3yr old Wether Goat and x5 1 Yr old Wether Goats - all very placid. Ideal for a small holding and are great grass cutters.

Our beautiful Boar, Hector, is home from his rumpy, pumpy holidays at a nearby farm. He's now been put straight in with Mary 🤔 but it seems they may of had a falling out. He's now outside and she is inside 🙈🙈. She will hopefully come back into season in 2 weeks time 🤞🤞. Then with a bit of luck we will have Christmas Snorters.... 🐽

Happy Saturday everyone. Thought I would update you on the goings on here today: first video shows another new venture for us. These are Broiler Chickens which are 4 weeks old and should be ready for the table in 8 weeks time. These are a real meaty bird for your table.
Second video shows you our amazing wee sorters who will be 2 weeks old on Tuesday coming - wow how they have grown 😱😱🐽
The last video are, again, Broiler Chickens, but are only a week old.
Our Broiler Chickens, once finished, will be an amazing feast for you. If anyone is interested in one, then just message us and we can give you more information on timings.....

After 18 months of trying to organise a Poultry Slaughter Course it actually happened today 👏👏.
18 months of form filling, email sending and phone calls. So thankfull to Charlie Mason, from the Humane Slaughter Association, who came all the way up from England and Attila Morvay, one of the Vets from Food Standards Agency to oversee every hen dispatch, who came over from Aberdeen.
We also had yummy homemade sausage rolls, pizzas and fresh strawberry cake care of Michael and Janet Hobson ..... Now to wait for the pass certificate for Adam Mason 🤔🤔

PASTEURISATION

Ive been asked on a number of occasions is the Raw Goats Milk, I use for making Ice-cream pasteurised. I must admit I was unsure about this but after a wee bit of investigation into this question, I found the following details :

Heat the milk to 63°C (150°F) for at least 30 minutes or 72°C (162°F) for at least 15 seconds.

And after putting a stick thermometer into the Raw Goats Milk, it certainly did hit the temperature of over 72 degree centigrade for over 15 seconds - so it does show me that our Ice cream is pasteurised.

Ducklings

And they are out.... ❤️❤️🐣🐣

17/07/2021

Unfortunately we seem to have one male Goat who insists on putting his head through the fencing 🙈🙈🐐.
Problem is he can't get back out so we have now resorted to THE HORNS OF SHAME 🤣.
2 bits of water pipe and electrical tape.... 🙈🙈

17/07/2021

Well here's a Saturday smile for you all. Found this morning underneath our static caravan. Mummy with 2 ducklings and a couple more eggs pipping..... 😱❤️🐣🐣

Well this is exciting..... We would like to introduce to you our new lady sorters who will be breeding for us.
Our 2 wee ones are female weaners, who are both sisters and are 8 weeks old. We have given them the lovely names - Heather and Thistle. They will hopefully breed for us in just under one year. They are both from the Iris Bloodline but only 1 will be registered with the British Pig Association.
Our older Sow is called Mary and is from the Alison Bloodline.
Two weeks ago Adam drove down to Cornwall with our trailer. On the way he very kindly picked up a 6 month old OSB Boar in Cheshire and delivered it to Gloucester service station, where he transferred the Boar into a fellow OSB breeders trailer, that had driven over from Kent.
He travelled down to Cornwall and stayed there for 2 weeks. He then drove up to North Wales where he picked up Mary, our new OSB Sow, stayed the night and then drove all the way up to Glenorchy Farm, Bridge of Orchy and picked up our 2 new female weaners for us. He then drove back home.
That was an epic journey for Adam of 1602 miles but he did it. ❤️. So we now have 3 Sows and 2 Weaners who will both breed for us..... 👏👏👏
This is what happens when you breed Rare Breed Pigs - Oxford Sandy and black Pigs....

13/07/2021

It's lovely to watch the mummy Hens show the wee ones what they should be doing.... So far we have 4 mummies with 7 chicks....

Another lovely message from todays family visitors:

Thank you so much for taking the time to show us around your croft today.
It's clear the love and passion you have for it.
Kids and adults both enjoyed meeting the animals and learning all about them.
Will definitely be back again soon to meet the new piglets 🐷
Thanks again.
