Farm News
The Sun has arrived!
The sun is shining, the grass is at last growing and the farm is
a hive of activity and full of new life now Spring is
underway! It is certainly a magical time of year and farm
staff are delighted to have welcomed the safe arrival of 49
beautiful bonny lambs, 40 plus chicks and ducklings and up to now 7
piglets with many more due to arrive! It certainly is a busy
place to be at the moment! The newest addition to our family
of four legged friends has come in the form of ‘Tatton May’ – our
first calf this year! What a joy to see 7 year old mum
‘Tatton Scarlett’ so happy with her calf, she looks as proud as
Punch. She calved on the morning of May 2nd so we
thought her name was a perfect celebration of May Day. We are sure
you agree she looks absolutely beautiful from her photo and takes
after her mum’s good looks.
Our next imminent mum to be is ‘Tatton Tulip’
one of our prize winning red Poll cows who is an old hand at
strutting her stuff in the Cheshire Show ring. She certainly
is a beautiful lady and we can’t wait to see if she produces yet
another show stopping calf. Her due date is May
8th…….watch this space!
The count down is also on for the Cheshire
Show which is held on the 18th and 19th
June. This year we shall be taking a cow and calf, 2 horses,
a ewe and her lambs, a pig and some chickens and ducks! They
are all competing with each other at the moment to win top place
and to secure their position in the show ring, but who will it
be??? Follow our updates on Tatton Park face book page to
keep updated!
Please do come and see us soon to congratulate
all our new mums on their adorable new arrivals, and wish the mums
to be lots of luck!
