Well, the anticipation has been amazing and all the livestock have been waiting with great expectation for these funny looking sheep with handlebar ears and amazing fleeces to produce their lambs…

the dogs been waiting, the Alpaca have been waiting and the humans – well we just carry on farming regardless of the weather and due dates!

Introducing here the first ever Rare Breed Black Wensleydale lambs to be born at Kensmyth…

we have been busy and getting feed and hay in for the (hopefully) last few months of “winter” and saying goodbye to three stunning boys after their initial “halters on”…

  we wish their new owners well and every enjoyment of these super trio of stunning Alpaca eye candy

beautiful snowdrops and … the calm before the storm

having a joke at Kensmyth – guess who this is?

 no – only the budding film director

well, as most know permission has to be granted for use of Official Society Logos. I always think that it is good to get publicity, especially for Rare Breeds but there you have it, some Societies just do not give permission for anyone to use their logos despite needing the publicity.

so, whilst we are members of other Societies, have a look at our new Society page which gives direct links to the all important details of the livestock and poultry we hold so dear… click on the Homepage on Society to the right hand side and each will take you to its own Website. Easy!

meantime – here is what it looks like…

lovely warm weather is great but it is key to the successful continuation of any livestock farm to have a system for protecting the ground and

innoculations for all – so that is what we have been busy doing…

Well no soon as we dry out, we get wet again. Inevitably this means that wet Alpaca locks dry into mud which although sad to remove, have to be because they turn into muddy hanging pencils…

Greyface Dartmoor have a certain appeal for sure but I did think of the Bay City Rollers when I did the routine husbandry and took a closer look at their fleeces…

Well – the day was normal routine farming but had the most amazing card from Hubby…
