The event will run during the weekends of February 29th and March 1st and March 7th and 8th, (10am \u2013 4pm). Traffic will still enter at Entrance 1 off B5074 Worleston Road and car parking remains free.<\/p>\n<p>The lambing weekends have been a major draw to the college over the past 24 years, with many visitors returning each season from as far away as Merseyside and Derbyshire to meet the newborns and hopefully to experience a live birth.<\/p>\n<p>The college has a commercial flock of over 300 expectant ewes which are due to produce more than 600 lambs around the time of the lambing events. During quiet times in the lambing sheds visitors can catch videos of earlier action and watch experts demonstrating the special care required for the delivery and care of the lambs.<\/p>\n<p>Reaseheath\u2019s zoo houses over 1,000 animals including meerkats, lemurs, a tapir, otters, birds of prey, companion animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs, reptiles, amphibians and fish. Activities will include face painting and educational talks by Reaseheath zoo keepers.<\/p>\n<p>Shepherd Anthony Baggaley is in charge of the lambing flock helped by a rota of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/further-education\/courses\/agriculture\/\">Level 3 Diploma in Agriculture<\/a> students who are gaining practical experience in the lambing sheds.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony said: \u201cLambing is traditionally the first sign of spring and this event is always very popular. We feel that the new lambing sheds will give visitors an even better viewing experience, with the added attractions of visiting our zoo and buying fresh local produce from the farmers\u2019 market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOpening the lambing sheds gives us the chance to show what we do here. As well as giving the public the unique experience of seeing lambs being born, it is also a great opportunity for us to tell them about the farming calendar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Please note:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This event is not suitable for expectant ladies<\/li>\n<li>Dogs\u00a0are not permitted<\/li>\n<li>Please wear suitable footwear<\/li>\n<li>Save 10% with early bird booking until February 17th<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-k5xvk29s-22e50a88ee477792215dd20fc436cc9d-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_slideshow '><a href=''  class='avia-button av-k5xvk29s-22e50a88ee477792215dd20fc436cc9d av-link-btn avia-icon_select-yes-right-icon avia-size-large avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color'  ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Find out more and buy your tickets<\/span><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_right' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue803' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div  class='avia-slideshow av-k5xvkncw-77df436b51a1ca264a9622cf832fe778 avia-slideshow-featured_large av_slideshow avia-slide-slider  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_button  el_before_av_hr  av-slideshow-ui av-control-default av-slideshow-manual av-loop-once av-loop-manual-endless av-default-height-applied avia-slideshow-1' data-slideshow-options=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;loop_autoplay&quot;:&quot;once&quot;,&quot;interval&quot;:5,&quot;loop_manual&quot;:&quot;manual-endless&quot;,&quot;autoplay_stopper&quot;:false,&quot;noNavigation&quot;:false,&quot;bg_slider&quot;:false,&quot;keep_padding&quot;:false,&quot;hoverpause&quot;:false,&quot;show_slide_delay&quot;:0}\"  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><ul class='avia-slideshow-inner ' style='padding-bottom: 42%;'><li  class='avia-slideshow-slide av-k5xvkncw-77df436b51a1ca264a9622cf832fe778__0  av-single-slide slide-1 slide-odd'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Shepherd-Anthony-Baggaley-with-Bruce-the-sheepdog-puppy-in-the-lambing-sheds-1030x687.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Shepherd-Anthony-Baggaley-with-Bruce-the-sheepdog-puppy-in-the-lambing-sheds-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Shepherd-Anthony-Baggaley-with-Bruce-the-sheepdog-puppy-in-the-lambing-sheds-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Shepherd-Anthony-Baggaley-with-Bruce-the-sheepdog-puppy-in-the-lambing-sheds-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Shepherd-Anthony-Baggaley-with-Bruce-the-sheepdog-puppy-in-the-lambing-sheds-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Shepherd-Anthony-Baggaley-with-Bruce-the-sheepdog-puppy-in-the-lambing-sheds-705x470.jpg 705w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\"  data-rel='slideshow-1' class='avia-slide-wrap '   ><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"wp-image-96080 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-96080\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Shepherd-Anthony-Baggaley-with-Bruce-the-sheepdog-puppy-in-the-lambing-sheds-1500x630.jpg\" width=\"1500\" height=\"630\" title='Shepherd Anthony Baggaley with Bruce the sheepdog puppy in the lambing sheds' alt=''  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"   \/><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-nduucu-6d2ed377cd6de1302fa5730c73a051d0\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-nduucu-6d2ed377cd6de1302fa5730c73a051d0{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-nduucu-6d2ed377cd6de1302fa5730c73a051d0 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_slideshow  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A bigger and even better experience will be on offer to visitors to Reaseheath College\u2019s Lambing Weekends.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":96080,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[468],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
