CHILDREN got up close to lambs, piglets and Hungarian woolly pigs when a farm in Oxfordshire opened its gates for the day.
Callow Farm, at Stonesfield in west Oxfordshire, took part in Open Farm Sunday yesterday, giving people a chance to look behind the scenes of a working farm.
Farmer Dave Holloway said youngsters got a chance to see sheep being sheared, week-old piglets and some furry Mangalitza pigs, like the ones above.
Mr Holloway said: “There were lots of interesting questions. People were genuinely interested in what was going on at the farm and how and why we did things.
“Two lambs followed me around all day — I think they were a bit in awe of everyone and stayed by my side. It was great as the kids could see them close up and stroke them.”
