Since arriving here and seemingly coming along really well the vets put abit of a stopper on our hopes for them. Some of their droppings were sent for a worm count to be on the safe side before we introduced to our herd and the results were unbelievable!! one of our little ones had a count of 9900 per gram!! and she only looks alittle skinny. Just goes to show no matter how well they look and seem you never know whats going on behind the scenes!!
We've now given them the latest wormer on the market and fingers crossed they will be all clear in 2 weeks and can be introduced to our girls ready for there billy :)
One of our babies breed this year has developed a swollen gland in his throat due to an iodine defficiency but hopefully with an injection he will be right as rain in a few days time :) we'll keep you updated in there progress.
About Me
- Bure Valley Farm & Love-Grub Farm Shop
- Hello from the Brownes. We're a family run farm in rural Aylsham. Our farm is home to Robins Rare Breed Oxford Sandy and Black pigs which we breed for their lovely meat (said to be the best tasting meat out of all rare breed pigs) The Farm is also home to Robin & Beckie's Boer Goats bred for their high quality healthy meat low in cholesterol and high in protien) We're also trying to increase the quanity of our very good quailty stock to help improve bloodlines through the country. Jackies Anglo Nubian goats, kept for both their meat, which is incredibly healthy for you and their milk which we're planning to make cheese, icecream, soap, moisturiser and a probiotic drink with. We also keep a few chickens, some traditonal breeds as well as hybrids and some Muscovy ducks for their free range eggs as well as David having arable land to produce home grown cereals for our animals. We also have 3 holiday cottages alongside the farm. These are run by Jackie and Hayley. All visitors have acess to our private section of the river Bure. We'd like to share the farm experience with visitors to Bure Valley Farm and those following our blog. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
