Lamb for sale
Our first crop of lambs are ready! After spending the spring and summer months out at pasture with their mothers they have grown very well and look absolutely tremendous. So it is now coming to that very rewarding moment when we get to taste the fruits of our labours!
This I must say excites the Edge/ Lowe/ Williams family greatly! Last night we sat down to a delicious meal to celebrate Mum and Dad 31st Anniversary - it was ALL home grown and delicious. Our meal consisted of slow roasted shoulder of lamb with garlic, rosemary and beetroot accompanied by new potatoes, cauliflower and mixed broad beans, runner beans and peas. The only thing not home produced was the redcurrant jelly but I'm sure we can rectify that!

Hello!
This is the first newsletter that Mr Willows has sent out to existing and potential new customers!
We keep a closed herd of Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs. We breed all our own young stock, which we then go on to fatten for slaughter. Our aim is to provide a local and reliable source of finest quality pork to our customers from our special rare breed pigs.
Our pigs lead stress free lives at Manor House Farm receiving the best care possible. They are virtually part of the family! They have indoor quarters with deep straw beds when the weather is bad, and paddocks to roam on fine, sunny days. The piglets are grown slowly in an outdoor yard with plenty of shelter and straw to root in.
We take our pigs to a local abattoir 25 minutes drive away from the farm. The pigs are loaded and transported quietly in their small social groups. The whole process is calm and quick to minimise stress and produce top quality pork. Gloucester Old Spot meat is sweet, succulent and tender. The crackling is second to none!
By keeping and breeding Gloucester Old Spots we are contributing to protecting and preserving a traditional rare breed. If we don’t use them we will loose them!
We are
* Local and reliable
* High quality
* A taste of tradition – forgotten flavour and succulence
* Totally traceable
If you are looking for something a little different for that special party, Sunday lunch or just wholesome family meals… then we are for you!!!
To order please email mrwillowsfarm@yahoo.co.uk or ring Rosie Williams on 07866412095
Current stock is frozen and can be collected or delivered for orders over £25.00. Our next batch will be available in 5-6 weeks. Joints can be cut to size to suit your requirements.

Latest Additions at Manor Farm
We had a valentines weekend supprise when Monica gave birth to a litter of 14 perfect piglets!! We were all amazed at the size of her litter, because Gloucester's tend to have much smaller litters. They are all doing nicely and getting stronger. With so many of them feeding time is a bit frantic, I think Monica is going to need plenty of energy to keep up with them. Pictures coming soon. They are all much spottier them Myrtle's litter who are now three weeks old. They are like little bullets tearing around playing with each other - it really is amazing how quick they grow!!
Again for anyone wanting to fatten pigs for the freezer our piglets are all for sale. £55 Gilts £50 Boars at 9 weeks old.

Old Spot News
The eight piglets born two weeks ago are thriving in the nursery with their mother Mrytle. They are enjoying regular feeds and are now running and playing with each other when they are not sleeping under their heat lamp keeping them as warm as toast.
There is soon to be more activity in the labour ward. Today we set Monica up ready for farrowing. She is due tomorrow and looks extremely promising!! Needless to say we are very excitied! The heat lamps are set up in case she farrows when we are not with her to ensure that the piglets are kept warm. This is to ensure the piglets have maximum chance of survival.
Fingers crossed in my next post I shall bring more pictures of our spotty friends!

| Mrytle's piglets are growing very rapidly. They now have access to their own mini water trough, and are starting to take their first few tastes of grower pellets (as well as regular milk feeds). |
Fingers crossed in my next post I shall bring more pictures of our spotty friends!
Some pictures from the spring of the Sheep

| One of the Ryland ewes - Rylands are a Rare Breed and we have a small pure bred flock. There meat is very tender and fatter than a commercial lamb. The additional fat gives a great flavour. |
