The Lambs Might Be Bigger but They Are Still Cute

Our visit to the rare breeds farm included some not very rare breeds too. They had a bunch of lambs in one of the barns. These lambs were clearly a little older than some of the others I have photographed through the spring, and they were growing quickly. This hadn’t impacted on how cute they were, though. Adult sheep are not the cutest of the animals out there but, like many creatures, the youngest ones are just cute. From a photography point of view, I appreciated that these have not yet been marked up with ownership markings. They look more ideal as a result.

Highland Cattle Make for Good Merch

Chris and Sam asked Nancy and me to join them on a visit to a local farm that has some rare breeds. Part of the collection was some highland cattle. These things are great looking animals. They were looking pretty inactive while we were there so just sitting in the field chewing the cud. However, that is not going to stop a good sales opportunity. The gift shop had more highland cattle related items than I would have imagined possible. Clearly they know what stuff sells well and a fluffy cow with long horns is going to do the trick.
