Relaxed Farming - our farm in your classroom

Our gestation period is around five months: this means how long we are pregnant for and is actually between 145 and 151 days. Kids are usually born in the spring/summer: perfect as the weather is better (or ought to be...) and the grass, trees and bushes are all growing, so providing our food!

When we are first pregnant we carry on as normal but in the last six weeks it all starts to really happen: our kids do most of their growing in this time so our bellies become huge and our udders get really full of milk. When Curds was pregnant with me and Gorge, her udder was SO huge it almost touched the ground! (Urggghhhh!)
