One of the baby goats - born at the end of January

One afternoon a week I go to Poppy’s farm. When I grow up I want to be a farmer, so I need to practise some things I am going to do when I have my own farm.

She has sheep, cows, puppies, some lovely baby goats, geese, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens and cats called KitKat, Samuel, Star, Whacky and Baggy.

When I’m there I usually feed the goats some milk from a bottle. One of the mummy’s isn’t being very kind to her baby goat. I’ve taken some of the sheep for a walk and taken one grown up goats for a walk. usually KitKat sits on my shoulder with her enormous fluffy tail in my face.

I’ve cleaned out the chicken’s house before and given the cats their dinner. Once I looked after the guinea pigs and rabbits while Tilly cleaned out their cage. Tilly had a little crate for the animals but it was quite low down, so I had to stop them jumping out.

I only needed to stop one because the other was too frightened to move. The other one had very large, fluffy ears, a bit like a rabbit.

I have drunk Primrose’s milk before - she is their cow. It tastes lovely and sweet and I was once given a bottle of her milk to take home with me. My Mum gives them cakes back in return to thank them for taking care of me at their farm.
