Introducing Maximus

A new arrival awaits visitors on a day out to Odds Farm Park as staff at the popular visitor attraction recently welcomed the arrival of Anglo Nubian billy goat, Maximus!

Born in February, Maximus has recently relocated to Odds Farm Park and is settling in well in one of the paddocks,!  Very friendly and extremely handsome, he will be ready to be introduced to the “ladies” in the Autumn!

The Anglo Nubian Goat was created in the UK at the end of the Nineteenth Century. It was developed by crossing goats in England with those arriving on Ocean Liners from the East; the goats were used to provide fresh milk during the voyage.

On a day out to Odds Farm Park, children can identify the Anglo Nubian Goat by their height (they are one of the tallest breeds of goat) and their long pendular ears. Many colour combinations are found which give some Anglo Nubian Goats very attractive mottled, marbled and tortoiseshell coats.

Elsewhere at Odds Farm Park, families on a day out can meet even more furry friends and even get close up to them in the Designated Animal Feeding Area.   Combined with a jam-packed Animal Activity and Demonstration Programme, there’s so much to do!

Erol loves the Camera

Having recently been given a fantastic Go Pro Camera, the Farmers at family day out favourite Odds Farm Park have had great fun filming some of the animals on the farm.

The first to get film star treatment was adorable Erol. Born at the farm on 3rd September 2014 to mum Connie, a British White Cow, Erol has always been inquisitive and when the camera was put in his paddock, it was no exception! As you can see from the video, he was very curious about the new addition in his paddock! Click here to see the video on Odds Farm Park’s YouTube Channel.

Over the next few weeks, the Farmers will be making more videos of the animals and visitors will be pleased to learn they can be the first to see them on the Farm’s Facebook page! Simply click here to become a Facebook Fan!

Say Hello To Floss

Visitors to children’s farm, Odds Farm Park will be delighted to meet new arrival Floss!  Born to mum Africa, Floss is one of a set of triplets and has two brothers – Fred and Frank.  Visitors will be interested to learn that she is the first female Golden Guernsey kid to be born at the farm this year and will be joining the Odds Farm Park Golden Guernsey herd.

With between 501-1,000 breeding nannies registered in the UK, the Golden Guernsey Goat is classed as a Minority Breed by the Rare Breed Survival Trust and so Odds Farm Park are hoping that one day, Floss will have kid goats of her own!

Children on a day out at Odds Farm Park will recognise a Golden Guernsey goat by its golden colour, with shades ranging from pale blond to deep bronze. They are smaller and more fine-boned than other British milking goats, and there is great variety in coat length. Being so friendly, children will love meeting them. Golden Guernsey Goats are also very quiet, docile and friendly goats for children to meet on a day out.

The exact origin of the Golden Guernsey is uncertain, though it is believed that they have French, Syrian and Maltese ancestry. They arrived in the UK in 1965 from Guernsey and the first reference to them on The Channel Islands is from an 1826 tourism guide book.

Elsewhere at Odds Farm Park, people on a day out can expect to meet plenty more furry friends in the large Undercover Animal Barns.  Combined with a jam-packed Animal Activity and Demonstration Programme, there’s so much to do!
