Highland cattle arriving March 2025
We have a new exciting opportunity coming to Norsey Woods and Hannakins Farm. A fold of six Highland heifers between the age of 6 months and 2.5 years will be grazing here from March. They are all female with a lovely temperament and very docile.
All we ask is you don't feed them as some foods can be harmful to them. The public are welcome to come and see them but please don't enter the grazing fields when they arrive.
They are used to human interaction and a very friendly fold. They are used to being around adults, children and dogs and we hope when you meet them you will appreciate how magnificent they are and what they will provide for the meadows and wildlife.
To ensure the safety of both animals and the public if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact Chloe Lucas who is the owner and will be more than happy to help on 07983334808.
We hope you will be as excited as we are to welcome this beautiful rare pedigree breed to the area.
