Another morning, another set of health checks!
This time to check all the lambs are fit and healthy, growing well, and have no signs of fly strike (which is very bad in this weather being warm and wet, it attracts flies to lay eggs on their fleece causing maggots! To make it even worse the flies will do this on clean fleece not just dirty fleece!)

Our check revealed they seem to be growing very well in all the lovely grass we have at the moment! Although we did have 1 with early signs of fly strike which we managed to trim off the affected fleece before any maggots got onto the lambs skin.

Thankfully we are able to keep on top of this with our lambs as we couldn't imagine anything worse than anyone with fly strike!

Nearly nine years ago, Rosie’s love for Dexter cattle began with one very special little heifer… Gem. ❤️🐮
Gem was a very premature, short-legged little heifer, and from the moment Rosie met her, they were inseparable. Rosie called her Gemmy Girl, and for many years she was her very best friend.
Gem was such a character. I always described her as our beautiful mini hippo — as wide as she was long, wonderfully chunky, a superb udder, and with the biggest personality! 😂 She absolutely loved her food, especially when Rosie came home from school with a special treat or snack just for her.
Sadly, last December, Gem’s time came to an end. 💔 She is still so very sadly missed, and there are days when the farm just doesn’t feel quite the same without her.
But Rosie has certainly found herself plenty of other four-legged (and sometimes rather mischievous!) friends over the years. 🥰
There’s Pancake the troublemaking goat, Gizmo the kitten, and of course Starburst, her very special heifer who is due to calf this winter.. And then there are all the other animals who somehow manage to bring a smile to our faces every single day.
Gemmy Girl will always have a very special place in Rosie’s heart — the little Dexter who started it all. ❤️🐮
Some animals are livestock… and some become family. Gem was definitely family. ❤️

🏁🐑 Looks like the coloured Ryelands are already getting their practice in for Sheep Racing Day! 🐑🏁

They’re looking super fit and certainly seem to have found their racing legs! 😂

Today is a big day here at Firebeacon Farm as the rams come out from the coloured Ryeland ewes for our early spring lambing, fingers crossed for lambs due in January and February. 🤞🐑❤️
We’ll be keeping everything crossed for some good scanning results at the end of October!

After such a testing year of drought, heatwaves and blue tongue, we’re not getting too hopeful just yet… but we’ll wait and see what these girls are carrying! 👀🐑
For now, they’re enjoying a beautiful sunny morning, fresh grass and plenty of sunshine. ☀️🌱
And if this morning’s running practice is anything to go by, they’re definitely going to be ready for Firebeacon Farm Sheep Racing Day! 🏆🐑💨
Have a wonderful Wednesday from all of us at Firebeacon Farm! ❤️

🌧️🐑 Wet, drizzly Sunday afternoons after rugby training are definitely made for being indoors…
This afternoon has been all about mucking out the sheep barn here at Firebeacon Farm, and it’s been a proper family team effort! 💪🐑

Rosie and William have been busy shovelling muck alongside Amy 👩‍🌾🧑‍🌾 Meanwhile, Marc has been expertly manoeuvring the tractor around the barn. 🚜 There are plenty of hazards to avoid, so it takes some serious tractor skills! 😅

And while all this hard work was going on, Reggie and Boris thought we had built them the biggest playground ever! 🐶🐶 They have absolutely loved having a huge area to charge around in and supervise the whole operation. 😂
A soggy Sunday, plenty of muck, lots of teamwork and two very happy four-legged supervisors! ❤️🐑🚜
That’s farm life — even on the wettest of Sundays! 🌧️❤️

🌿 Sundays at Firebeacon Farm are all about a good Sunday lunch! 🐂🌱
And Harris certainly knows how to do it properly! 😋 He’s tucked himself into our herbal ley for a delicious Sunday feast, enjoying a lovely mix of clover, plantain, grasses and a whole variety of herbs. 🌱🍀
With the cooler weather arriving and a bit more rain finally falling, we’re hoping to see the fields really burst back into life over the next few weeks. 💚 Plenty of fresh, nutritious grass for our cattle and sheep to enjoy!
For Harris, though, there’s no need to rush… Sunday lunch is best enjoyed slowly! 😂🐂
Happy Sunday from all of us at Firebeacon Farm! 💚🌿 fans Marc Hamlett Amy Hamlett

🌿☀️ That Saturday morning feeling… ☀️🌿
Harris and Betty are definitely embracing the weekend mood after a busy week and now, not really wanting to get out of bed! 😂
Tucked up together in the herbal lay, surrounded by clover, they’ve decided there really is no better place to be than right here, enjoying the sunshine, the fresh morning air and a little birdsong. 🐄🌸🐦
Sometimes you just have to slow down, enjoy the moment and have a good old-fashioned lie-in! 😴💚
From Harris and Betty have a relaxing weekend everyone! 🌿☀️🐄

🐾🐱 WELCOME TO THE FIREBEACON FAMILY, BATMAN & GIZMO! 🐱🐾
We’ve been extremely lucky this Friday afternoon to welcome two very special new additions to the Firebeacon family — Batman and Gizmo! 🥰❤️
The children were SO excited to come home from school and meet their new little friends, and I think it’s safe to say the kittens have already settled in beautifully.
But, of course, there was one very important member of the family who needed to give her approval… 🐔👑
Yes, you guessed it… Wild Chicken! 😂
She eagerly met us at the door to inspect what we had brought home, and after a very thorough investigation, I think Batman and Gizmo have officially received the Wild Chicken seal of approval! 🐔✅🐱
We are absolutely delighted with our two new furry friends. ❤️
There are also two more gorgeous kittens still looking for their forever homes, and they really are the sweetest little characters. 🥰
If you’d like any information about them, please get in touch.
A huge thank you to my sister Jessica, who has done such a fantastic job rearing these kittens from her lovely cat, Pickle. Her kittens are all litter box trained, used to dogs and children- so make the perfect pet❤️🐾
Welcome to Firebeacon, Batman & Gizmo — we think you’re going to fit in just perfectly! 🐱🐱❤️

☀️🐔 GOOD MORNING FROM FIREBEACON FARM! 🐔☀️
It’s another beautiful, sunny morning here at the farm…
With the Friday feeling in full flow, another very important quality-control inspection from Mrs Chicken on William’s packed lunch! 🍝🌽
Mrs Chicken has taken her job VERY seriously and has been testing the pasta that William will be enjoying in his lunchbox, accompanied by a little sweetcorn. 🌽
And after a very thorough investigation… I think we can safely say it gets a FULL THUMBS UP! 👍😂
Nothing leaves the Firebeacon Farm kitchen without first passing Mrs Chicken’s extremely high standards! 🐔👑
Have a fantastic Friday everyone! ☀️❤️ fans Marc Hamlett Amy Hamlett
