Its not so wet now on Hambrook hill farm, we now have a postbox, so any goat related post can be recieved!
Well the pigs are getting fat, and extremely naughty, getting out on a daily basis seems to be this months game!! Talking of getting out: this is something the ponies havent done since the fence has been mended in their field and its now secure!
We have decided to sell one of the shetland ponies so hopefully Norman will be snapped up soon.
On the goat front, we travelled down to the Wytsend Herd of AN goats in west Devon last weekend and picked up our lovely new buck called Jacob! who's pretty much smashing!! He escaped twice but only wend as far as the girls shed! bless...only one thing on his mind!
we have one field to fence now, and the whole place will be stock proof, so when ive worked myself into the ground for a few months ill have enough money to do that :)
Also the new piglets should arrive this month, so fingers crossed we'll get there soon :)

January 2011!!!
Well well, we've arrived in 2011 and its wet! Hambrook hill is a lake, but we're surviving! and alots changed!!
Firstly, Richard has fenced one paddock with stockmesh, so we have one safe place at least where livestock cant get out! and the ponies field is being fenced and secured this week, as Di the black beast decided to walk through the hedge and take herself off on a jolly, luckily was rescued by a passer by!
The piggies are doing well, just under 2 months until the final journey, and theyre loving every minute, especially as the ground is wet and extra muddy.
On the 1st of the month we perchased 2 lovely Anglo Nubian goat does, called Olga and Ethel:
i think this is Ethel?
