At Piggies Tea Time on Wednesday 19 November, Snoopy, our almost one year old Saddleback pig, surprised the staff by giving birth to a litter of cute piglets. The piglets were all born within a couple of hours and are all a good size and healthy too. Snoopy is showing to be a very calm and relaxed first time mum.
On Friday 14 November 8 year old Lady Lena became the proud mother of baby boy Tizer and on Tuesday 18 November 13 year old Tabatha gave birth to Tinker, a beautiful little girl (see picture). This year 5 British Whites calves have been born at Odds Farm Park. Plus in the next few weeks more British White calves are expected. And did you know that Prince Charles keeps British White cattle at Highgrove too.
On Thursday 13 November in the early morning Highland calf Tyler pleasantly surprised staff by his arrival, as he was one day early and was born outside. His mum Kinkerbell is doing well and Tyler is thriving. Tyler is a black Highland cow and got his beautiful colour from his black coated father Hamish. Watch Tyler play with his friends in the fields during the next few weeks.
On Tuesday 11 November a new litter of piglets were born. Proud parents are mum Mixture, a Gloustershire Old Spot sow, and dad Norbert, a Tamworth boar. Watch mum and all the little ones playing in the pig pens behind the Playbarn.
Every weekend in November, enjoy traditional Farmyard Puppet Shows at Odds Farm Park. With giant puppets, sing-alongs and themed stories, they’re great fun and at no extra cost.
