As well as the piglets and ducklings, Anna Cockburn, who runs the centre with her mother and father, was pleased to welcome new foal Dorothy, a beautiful, rare breed Clydesdale, last week.

Primrose was a few days late giving birth, but had a smooth delivery, with Anna’s help, in front of some surprised visitors. Dottie was out in the field with her mum within a couple of days.
