News from Swinholme

Swinholme Cottage availability is on the Sykes Cottage website. 

We keep Dexter cows, Welsh badger faced sheep and Black Rock chickens. We also keep old breeds of pig, like Gloucester Old Spot, on occasion. Free range eggs from our flock are available for purchase, as is Dexter meat (frozen) from our own herd, and also pork (frozen) from our pigs. Lamb will be available in the autumn.

Two new Dexter calves were born in May, both bull calves.

All our livestock, apart from the chickens, are now on our land at Barnard Castle.
