Farming in the snow

Moving sheep close to the farm.

Despite the snowy weather the turkeys still like to venture out in to the fresh air and enjoy the valley.

November 2010

It has been another eventfull month at Springfield Farm.
The turkeys continue to grow and feast on marrows and apples. They are a particulary inquisitive group, enjoing following and watching the going ons around them. Orders for turkeys have been flying in, so if you haven't ordered yet, please do so soon.
This week we housed the cattle for the winter, and they have all settled in to the barns well. The calves will be wenaed soon, which will be a noisy affair!
Ian has had to take most of this month easy, after treading on some nails and damaging his foot, thankfully he is now back to work and well mended.
