New Friend For Amy

Just like children who visit Odds Farm Park on days out, all our furry friends like to make friends too. And within the childrens farm, Amy (now a couple of weeks old) has been joined by Alex (born a few days ago).

This is the second calf for Mum Missy, who came to Odds Farm Park in January 2008 and Alex’s older sister Tinsel (now 1 1/2 years old) is still at Odds Farm Park. With her beautiful eyes, Tinsel has become a farm park favourite for visitors on days out and no doubt, Alex will be popular as well during his stay.

Jersey cows are famous for producing excellent quality milk and you can see them in the cow milking demonstrations within the kids farm. Adult Jersey cows will drink a bathtub of water daily and eat up to 40 pounds of food a day. Not surprisingly, therefore they spend 6 hours per day eating and a further 8 hours chewing their cud! Look next time you visit on a day out and you’ll probably see them eating or chewing.

Award winning Odds Farm Park provides a fantastic family day out and is easily reached from West London, London, Berkshire, North London, Buckinghamshire and Oxford. And more locally, it is very close to Maidenhead, High Wycombe, Chesham and Slough. For more information, directions and prices visit the family days out website www.oddsfarm.co.uk
