When we got to the farm we met Farmer Kerry who showed us to the best straw bale barn, after the adventure over the bales and down the slides we all gathered to listen to our instructions for the day.
First we were off to feed the calves, we all had a bottle each and a calf to give milk to. They were very messy and some finished ever so quick. We had to hold the bottles carefully. Some of us were so taken with these lovely creatures that we let them lick our hands and fingers.
Next job was of to feed the pigs, there was the most adorable piglets but their mums were taking care of them, so we fed the older piglets and the adult pigs.
After that it was off to the tractor for a bumpy bumpy ride,
On the way to the next animals we all had to collect a handful of grass, Who were we about to meet?
Pearl the shire horse and Chesney the pony,
Well our work wasn't finished so we then met and held a chicken which we were all experts at, then moved on to meet the chicks and rabbit.
Finally it was the goats that needed feeding before we could have our lunch, the children were finding out how much there was to do being a farmer.
Gosh what a lot of hungry animals, the last job of day after washing our hands was to feed the hungry year R's
