Handler Experience
Looking to get even more hands‑on with lambing at Elms Farm?

- Bottle feeding and caring for young lambs
- Checking on ewes to ensure they are healthy and comfortable
- Completing the feeding and watering rounds
- Refreshing bedding and maintaining clean, safe pens
- Assisting with the care of newborn lambs
- Numbering and recording new arrivals
- Learning about flock management and the realities of farm life during lambing
This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who would like a deeper understanding of animal care, farming, and the lambing process. Whether you're an aspiring young farmer or simply curious about what happens behind the scenes, this experience offers a memorable and educational experience on the farm.
