We all had a fabulous time at our visit to Valentin Farm, Dumfries House yesterday and are enjoying retelling our trip in our writing jotters for you to read.

We met the Tamworth pigs:

We fed the different types of poultry including Scots Greys, Scots Dumpy, Shetland geese and ducks and the Pied White turkeys.

We enjoyed meeting the rare breed cattle including Vaynol and Shorthorns and the Castlemilk Moorit sheep.

We were all able to demonstrate our milking skills.

We learned the skill of stock judging.

We used our senses to describe the smell of silage.

Followed by sharing our knowledge about seasonal and year round activities on the farm.

Finishing up,with a well earned lunch in the barn!
