Guided herd walks

Duration: About one hour
Group: Families welcome

How it goes

If you are thinking about buying, start here. You see how the animals are kept, how they move, and how they take to people.

I
At the gate
We meet you by the barn and walk out to the paddock the herd is grazing that week.
II
Cows and calves
Time among the cows and the year’s calves. Most of them will come over to see you.
III
The bull
We stop at the bull’s paddock and talk about his line and his calves, from our side of the fence.
IV
The herd book
Back at the barn, we open the herd book to the page of any animal you would like to know more about.

Your questions, especially if you are thinking about buying

Good to know

Can we touch the animals?

Often, yes. Most of the herd is used to people. We will tell you which ones to give room to.

Is the walk suitable for a wheelchair or stroller?

The barn and the first paddock are on level ground. Telephone and we will plan a route that works.

Do I have to be buying?

Not at all. Plenty of people come just to meet the herd.

Ask for a date

Tell us a few dates that suit you and how many are coming. We confirm by email with the address, what to wear, and what to bring.
