Our Farm
Our Farm extends to nearly 500 acres and we are currently milking over 300 cows. In addition we have around 200 younger cattle and calves. The cows produce approximately 9500 litres of milk each a year which is collected daily as part of the Tesco Sustainable Dairy Group which promotes High Animal Welfare. They graze outside for most of the year however we also grow forage maize to feed them in the winter when they are housed.
Over the summer we usually have 2 orphaned lambs and last July we took delivery of two Rare Breed, Oxford Sandy and Black pigs (Martha and Matilda), we hope to have some piglets later this year.
We have lots of wildlife here on the farm, foxes, deer, hares and lots of rabbits can be seen, whilst owls, buzzards, herons, swallows, bats and the occasional woodpecker can be spotted in the air.
Please don't forget that you must only allow your children around our farm animals under good supervision and that all activities are at your own risk. Always remember to wash you hands after being near to the animals. Ask for Sally if you would like to help her feed the calves or watch the cows being milked.
Oulton House Farm is a working farm and if any one has a particular interest and would like a more detailed look around Arthur is happy to show you round, please ask.
