Lucy and Larry expected to be the star attraction

VISITORS to Butts Farm, South Cerney, this week will be greeted by cuddly lambs, fluffy bunnies and chirpy chicks.

The latest arrivals at the farm are set to pull in the crowds during half term. But twin lambs Lucy and Larry are expected to be the star attraction.

Owner Judy Hancox said: "They are Norfolk Horn lambs - a rare breed. They are born completely black and by the time they are six months old they have a white coat with a black head and black legs. It's amazing to watch."

The twins were born to mum Isla, who has been a resident ewe at the farm for three years.

Judy added: "The twins are both a good size and the family is doing very well. They are now waiting for more brothers and sisters. There are 30 ewes due to lamb any minute."

Butts Farm is open from 11am until 5pm this week.
