Our moos are well looked after and super spoilt. They’re keen on cuddling, they are inquisitive and nosy, but tend to keep a bit of a distance to visitors, unless you have a feed bucket with you. Our calves have been hand reared by the kids.

It’s somewhat funny to see that all their characters are totally different all the time. Some were shy, some were like lapdogs or on a leech and some were… well, kind of what you would expect – a bit shy but nosy and playful.

Beginning of August 2023 we got 2 new calves – Caramello and Caramilk. They are now united with big mommy moo but are still pretty tame.
