Lambs and calves growing fast. This lamb is 8 weeks old Texel cross Lleyn, looks just like his dad! A selection of the calves, all the most amazing shades of red and such characters.

A gorgeous bull calf just born from one of our heifers Sophia (named after Sophia Loren another beautiful redhead!). The birth was lovely and straightforward, although I don't think she thought so, there was a lot of groaning involved! Six more calves to go, three from heifers which are always slightly more concerning..... Such a difference in their colouring, he takes after his Dad with the deep dark brown coat. #redevon #newcalf #Pembrokeshire #pasturefed #pastureforlife #sustainable #coastalpath #farmstay #strumblehead #holidaylet #petfriendly

Abi and our first bull calf of the year - Elgar.

Abi and our first bull calf of the year - Elgar. Red Devon cattle are known to have a good temperament and ours certainly support that, they have all been happy have us around the new calves. All of them also love a bit of attention particularly a long leisurely back scratch, there are frequent arguments over who is having one first! # Red Devon #calf #Pembrokeshire #pasturefed #pastureforlife #sustainable #farmstay #petfriendly #coastalpath #strumblehead
