Suffolk Punch

• This breed of horse is the oldest breed of heavy horse and all modern Suffolk’s descended from one horse in the village of Ufford.
• They are so rare they’re classed as Critically Endangered.
• Our two mares, Annie & Annabelle both welcomed foals in may of this year. They’re currently at the Suffolk Punch Trust, where they foaled, and will return to the farm very soon. You can read more about this here.

Ixworth Chickens

• This breed was created by Reginald Appleyard in 1931 and was named after the village he was born in, Ixworth!
• The Ixworth chicken only comes in one colour which is white.

Suffolk Sheep

• Our Suffolk ewe is called Barbara! She is a firm favourite with our ranger team and produces lovely lambs.
• This breed of sheep is one of the most frequently used breeds in modern sheep farming.

Large Black

• The Large Black pig is Britain’s only all black breed of pig and a very docile breed.
• It is believed that in the 18^th century all black pigs came off a boat from China and docked in Suffolk, as well as Cornwall and bred to be what we know today, the Large Black.
