点评:I love lambing time and have been to places both before and after covid... and I must say this is one of the best times I've had (even on a torrential rain day)
The barns are inside sheep and lambs (the donkeys and cows are outside) so under shelter and there is even a tea barn to buy a coffee and cake after which is a huge bonus!
We got so much time with the animals and they were all very friendly. Shona is a vet and lives on the farm with her husband Craig. You can tell the animals are well looked after and Shona knows her stuff.
The lambs we bottle fed were all orphaned so hand reared which I love as it means they are super friendly and used to human contact and you feel like your helping the farmer and giving them a rest from bottle feeding hungry lambs. Usually it's extra to bottle feed the lambs at other places if your even allowed at all which is why we picked craigbank!
We also had lots of time for photos and didn't feel rushed at all and had so many amazing cuddles. My 3 year old was very wary at first to hold the lambs but because we had enough time she got brave and her we face says it all!
I'm not sure who had more fun! The toddler, teenager or adults!
Coffee and cake was a nice touch to spend a bit more time at the farm and let the kids settle after all the fun before getting back in the car.
Hopeplfully see you again next year!
翻译:我喜欢羊羔出生的时间,在疫情之前和之后都去过一些地方……我必须说这是我度过的最美好的时光之一(即使是在倾盆大雨的日子)
谷仓里有羊和羊羔(驴和牛在外面),所以有遮蔽,甚至还有一个茶仓,可以买咖啡和蛋糕,这是一个巨大的福利!
我们花了很多时间与动物相处,它们都非常友好。 Shona 是一名兽医,和她的丈夫 Craig 住在农场里。你可以看出这些动物得到了很好的照顾,Shona 很懂行。
我们用奶瓶喂养的羊羔都是孤儿,所以是人工饲养的,我喜欢这一点,因为这意味着它们非常友好,习惯了与人类接触,你觉得你在帮助农民,让它们从喂奶饥饿的羊羔中得到休息。通常,如果允许的话,在其他地方用奶瓶喂养羊羔是额外的,这就是我们选择 Craigbank 的原因!
我们也有很多时间拍照,一点也不着急,而且有很多很棒的拥抱。我 3 岁的女儿一开始很害怕抱小羊羔,但因为我们有足够的时间,她变得勇敢起来,她的表情说明了一切!
我不知道谁玩得更开心!幼儿、青少年还是成年人!
咖啡和蛋糕很不错,让我们在农场多呆一会儿,让孩子们在玩完所有乐趣后安顿下来,然后再回到车上。
希望明年再见到你!
