Local families can enjoy twice the fun if they visit Reaseheath College, Nantwich, during the first two weekends in March.<\/p>\n

Preparations are well in hand for the college\u2019s popular lambing events and the campus zoo will also be open to the public.<\/p>\n

Reaseheath\u2019s lambing weekends have been a community highlight for over 20 years and attract thousands of visitors eager to meet the new arrivals in the lambing sheds. The college has a flock of 500 sheep ready to give birth and about 1,000 lambs are expected over a three week period.<\/p>\n

A big screen will show highlights of the action and experts will be on hand to demonstrate the special care required for fostering lambs. Children will be encouraged to watch and learn as lambs are bottle fed and given health checks.<\/p>\n

Reaseheath\u2019s shepherd Ollie Bagley, 21, a former Level 3 Extended Diploma in Agriculture student, is in charge of a rota of students who are gaining practical experience in \u00a0lambing sheds.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cEverything is ready for the lambing weekends. Fortunately for us the sheep are indoors but we are obviously hoping that the weather will pick up and that the fields will dry out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Families will also have the chance to see some of the\u00a0 animals in Reaseheath\u2019s zoo, which include meerkats, lemurs, tapirs, otters, birds of prey and companion animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme is agricultural rare breeds and visitors will be encouraged to meet the college\u2019s golden Guernsey goat kids. There will be children\u2019s arts and craft sessions and other fun activities along with educational talks by Reaseheath zoo keepers. Young visitors to lambing will also be able to plant up baskets with Spring bulbs and flowers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reaseheath College\u2019s lambing sheds and zoo will open to the public on Saturday and Sunday, March 1 \/ 2 and on Saturday and Sunday, March 8 \/ 9 from 10am to 4pm. Hot refreshments will be available and outdoor plants from the college\u2019s Crop Shop will be for sale. \u00a0A family ticket for both attractions is \u00a325.
