bottle feeding lambs because the ewe has not enough milk isn't going to be a great start to profits!

Sounds like plenty of people in the background, guessing it could be a paying attraction where you get to feed the lambs in exchange for some wonga.

I'll bet they do and good for them. Open one up next door and see where you both end up!

I think it is the biggest attraction of its type in the country. Certainly biggest tourist attraction in Yorkshire with lots of awards. 200 staff with different activities through out the year. Soft play area, two cafe's, large farmshop & best toy shop for miles around.

Laughing all the way to the bank I would think, well I know they are. Can certainly afford anything they want, beats proping up a gate at the market complaining about the price of lambs.

Not really a profitable farm though, more a profitable/successful visitor attraction that is loosely themed on a 'farm'.

Good on them though, they appear to have built up a good business out of it. I'd guess they've invested an eye watering amount of £ s doing so though.

They have certainly invested a large amount. But built up over 30 years. Local kids love it & creates loads of jobs for local sixth formers & students as well as full time staff.

They have also a large commercial farming operation nearby, mostly to supply their farm shop. Cereals, beef, pigs, sheep just normal stuff.
