There are the tractor rides to the top of the South Downs to see the animals out in the fields – Payable on the day £5 a head as they are weather dependent.
You can pay cash or card.
Sorry you are unable to book Lamb and calf feeding as we try and share among those there.
Lamb feeding – There is no lamb feeding the first week of lambing as we do not take lambs off the ewes unless we need to. They are better off on their mothers, we only take them off the ewes if they do not have enough milk or there is a problem.
We then try and foster lambs onto other ewes.
when we have hob lambs to feed it is at 12.00 and 4.00
Calf feeding is at 2.00 when we have them .
There are also some free visits for special need groups at lambing time.
so do email me berty@coombes.co.uk
Late night lambing is back this year – https://www.latenightlambing.co.uk/
For Adult only feeding of lambs and calves in the evening
If they are fully booked , keep an eye open for extra spaces if they become available
