Important Information

  • Not recommended for very young, active children; participants must remain calm around the cattle. These animals have horns and can be spooked - please consider this before booking children into the experience
  • Guests under 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult.
  • Strollers and wheelchairs are not recommended.
  • The experience includes walking on uneven ground and is not suitable for those with balance or mobility issues.
  • Some of our cattle you will be meeting with a gate between you and them for your safety - you will get to pet, hand feed, take pictures and get to learn about them. You will get to spend part of your experience time inside the pasture with one or more of our micro & mini cattle Muriel, Cookie & Beatrice to pet, brush and get up close selfies with. We always respect our cattle's space and needs, if for whatever reason a cow is not feeling like participating we will simply spend more time with the others. 
  • You will not be "cuddling" - cattle need to feel complete trust to allow someone to hug or sit with them and we cannot guarantee this will happen for guests.
