Olde House Farm

Tony’s vet visit didn’t go brilliantly. The vet thinks both legs have damage. Poor Tony Macaroni. He’s having x rays Tuesday so we’ll know more then.

Today Tony was sad as some of his favourite humans came to visit and he could only come out for a quick cuddle and then back into the ATV.

Thank you for everyone who has helped towards Tony’s recovery, shares are just as important as pennies.

Today we’re back at the vets with Tony. We’re at a different vets as I want to make sure we get the right vet and the right price.
Tony’s been so sad. We’ve had visitors to the farm and he’s not been able to come and say hello or do his usual tour guide job.
Fingers crossed he’ll be back to his job soon.
Any spare pennies you have to help Tony get back to full cuddle capacity will be greatly received.

No, there’s room for more! Gertie Goat refuses to stop eating; despite expanding rapidly sideways….. she is fully embracing conservation grazing.

It’s not been the best week here on the farm, in fact it would be fair to say it’s been sh*t.
One of our home bred goats cocoa got into a fight with another goat and she died.
Losing animals is so bloody hard, but our goats are, as a lot of you know, very special.
Then today Tony macaroni had to go to the vets with a limp. He’s torn his cruciate ligament. The quote is £3600. We’ve got some tough questions to ask.
He’s not insured as insurers don’t like to insure dogs on farms and if they do it’s extortionate as they might be worked. As a lot of you will know Tony does work, he’s a cuddle dog during our visits.
Working and owning animals is hard, they grab your heart and squeeze.

This guy really is a gentle giant.

The training is over, the goats now run straight to where they are meant to be grazing and return back on command. They really have amazed us. Next stop working with the National Trust conservation grazing.
Helping to save the planet one goat at a time.

Another amazing 2 weeks of opening our farm gates to over 25 groups of amazing people. We’re still not sure whether the parents or children had more fun!!
The pigs are exhausted, the goats are full to the brim of cuddles and Tony Macaroni is watching and waiting for you all to visit again.

Thank you so much all your support. Farming ain’t easy, but meeting you all and sharing our world is wonderful.

Follow us to ensure you get our next opening dates, it’ll be in spring to bottle feed the lambs and meet the new goat kids.

Take care.
