Twins arrive at Cannon Hall Farm in Barnsley
Staff got a surprise as they were only expecting one calf to be born
Farmers at a South Yorkshire tourist attraction are seeing double after a beloved cow unexpectedly gave birth - to twins called Vera and Lynn!
Felicity - the pedigree shorthorn - surprised the farmers at Cannon Hall Farm when she delivered two perfect white calves - despite only being scanned for one. Felicity is part of the anniversary pedigree herd of Shorthorn Cattle, purchased as a celebratory gift for Farmer Roger Nicholson, who opened the farm to the public in 1989 for his services to his family and to farming.
His son, Robert, now the farm director, said:
“Felicity really has surprised us all and the twins are absolute belters. They are really striking and our visitors are really enjoying seeing them.”
Cannon Hall Farm, in Cawthorne, Barnsley is open to the public and is best known for being the host farm of Channel 5 TV show Springtime on the Farm.
