SATURDAY 28th JUNE, 2008
We all had a relaxing and very enjoyable morning at Startup Farm the home of Catherine and Ian Storey. The family have farmed for over 60 years at Startup and, in the future, their son and daughter will continue on this tradition.
Catherine’s Zwartbles sheep, which we met last year, are thriving. She started with three and now has ten. This year one ewe had triplets. She managed to feed two of the lambs successfully but the third was failing to grow and needed to be hand fed. It is now as big as the other two.
We thank Catherine and Ian for opening up their home for this special event. The sum of £440 was raised for Church funds and our thanks go to Catherine and all the helpers who contributed to the success of the morning.
