Animal Farm

Cannon Hall Farm is home to hundreds of amazing animals and reptiles – from our faithful dogs who live with us to the animals that are ready to greet the visitors each day. Our animals are always our top priority and our farmers work incredibly hard to ensure they are cared for in the best possible way. As with any job, we have our favourites amongst the animals and so do our visitors. Here’s a small selection of some of Cannon Hall Farm’s most popular animals.

Helen the Alpaca

She’s had a tricky start in life but Helen the alpaca is going strong thanks to the dedicated efforts of our farm team.

Audrey’s baby had a medical crisis at birth which has left her with a compromised immune system.

The only way to save her was to put her in isolation and hand-rear her.

She’s not currently visible to visitors – but she’s a regular guest on our live broadcasts.

Dougal the Highland Calf

Cannon Hall Farm is proud to announce the arrival of Dougal, a beautiful pedigree Highland cow.

He is the first calf to be born to Emma, who came to the farm in calf from a championship herd in 2019.

Dougal has made many friends already and likes a good run around.

Pony Hadley - Shetland Pony

Hadley, our brand new Shetland Pony foal, was born in May at Cannon Hall Farm.

His birth was revealed on Episode 1 of the TV show This Week On The Farm which airs on Tuesdays on Channel 5.

His dad is our famous Shetland Jon Bon Pony – and he’s the only pony to be born at the farm in 2020.
