Bosses of Shepherds Place Farm have also issued an urgent appeal for donations to help pay for the cost of keeping those animals which cannot be fostered because of their specialist medical needs.

The rare breed petting farm has been forced to close once again because of lockdown with its food offering only open for takeaway.

A spokesperson posted on Facebook: “We have exhausted all other options and are finally running out of money to be able to carry on.

"This is not a decision that we have taken likely and wish that this was not the case, but the farm is now at a crisis point.”

It is hoped the animals can return to the farm, if it is able to reopen when lockdown measures ease.
