SPRING is in air the at a North-East agricultural college.

East Durham College’s Houghall Campus hosted this year’s Lambing Watch event earlier today (Sunday, March 22).

As well as the lambs, there were a number of other attractions including tours around the small animal unit where visitors could see reptiles, small mammals, cows, calves and pigs with piglets.

There was also falconry displays, arts and crafts activities for the children, plants sales and demonstrations.

Farm manager Keith Cook said: “I believe this event at the college was a great opportunity to show what we are doing at Houghall Farm to meet the future needs of industry and equip our learners with the skills and knowledge to meet the needs of employers.

“There were loads of new born lambs for visitors to see.

“We had loads of animals on show from the farm itself and people were also be able to go and have a look round our fantastic animal care facility too.

“It was a great day out for all the family.”
