Half-Term Fun - No Kiddin'!
Children (and parents) enjoy live birthing at Roves Farm this week
Mums, dads and kids have been getting close to nature this week in Swindon - quite literally.
At Roves Farm in Sevenhampton, it's birthing week for their herd of pygmy goats. And it's proved quite an attraction - inside out of the rain!
Today, Ivy, their 3-year-old, grey nanny goat gave birth in front of a mesmerised young crowd, while on-hand expert Pippa Burr gave a helping hand.
Children are allowed to handle the kid goats after a few days, with those born last week already jumping around the barn.
