About This Adventure

Experience the charm of Europe's smallest cows at our Shropshire farm! Meet our friendly Dexter cattle, known for their gentle nature. Enjoy feeding, petting, and even styling their hair. This hands-on adventure promises delightful interactions and unforgettable moments with these adorable Mini Moos. Join us for a unique farm experience!

Get up-close and hands-on with Europe's smallest and cutest cows. ​ Our farm is home to our charming herd of Dexter cattle, the smallest cows in Europe. Dexter cows are not only small, but they're also some of the calmest and most friendly cattle on the planet. They will come when called, eat from your hand and even play games. Once you've tried met our adorable Dexters, you'll love them as much as we do.

On arrival at our farm in Shropshire, you will join us in The Old Barn, our specially converted indoor space, where your experience will begin with a quick health and safety briefing and a talk about the cows. ​ We will then take short trip to see the cows at their field. Standing in front of the gate or fence, you can then get stuck in feeding, petting and grooming them! You can give them a cute new hairstyle if you'd like. The most hardened cow lovers can even give the girls a little cuddle and a tickle under the chin. ​ You'll love our Mini Moo's doleful, cute faces and be delighted with their friendly and gentle nature. You may even get a moo or two!

**Note:**Depending upon the season, ground conditions and the needs of the animals, opportunities to go into the field with the cows may be available. Ask before booking if you wish to confirm this.

During Winter months, you MUST bring suitable clothing and footwear as our field can be extremely muddy. We recommend strong wellington boots and waterproof clothing. We advise against bringing small children into the field. You may view and handle the cows behind the gate if you do not wish to enter the field.
