Mud wallowing season has begun! ๐ท๐ฆ
Mud wallowing season has begun! ๐ท๐ฆ
With the recent warm weather, our pigs have eagerly started their favourite activity early this year! To keep them happy and cool, our dedicated Animal Care Team has crafted some delightful mud wallows just for them.
Did you know pigs have sensitive skin that can easily burn in the sun? By rolling in the mud, they create a natural sunscreen, protecting themselves from those harsh rays. Plus, as the mud dries and the water evaporates, it helps keep them cool and comfortable. ๐
Come see our pigs enjoying their mud wallows up close at our Open Day on Saturday, 8th of June! We can't wait to share the fun with you! ๐๐ท
If there's one group of animals glad to see the return of the rain, it's our rescued geese! ๐ง

At the forefront of the feathered crew is Brucey, a beloved member of our sanctuary family, and one of the animals you can sponsor at Goodhear. Every penny raised goes directly into providing the best care for all our amazing residents and we'll even send you a special sponsorship pack! โจ

โจ Pure joy โจOur cows are finally out in the field after a winter in the barn! ๐ฅ
Typically, they would have gone out earlier, but persistent bad weather has kept the ground too wet until now. Our sanctuary sits on heavy clay soil, so it's vital to let it rest over winter to ensure lush grazing for our cows during spring and summer.
During the winter months, our cows have been cosied up in the barn, enjoying their favorite treat โ hay! ๐พ However, this winter has been particularly wet, keeping them indoors for longer periods. As a result, we've had to spend more on straw and hay than ever before. If you'd like to help us cover some of these extra costs, please click the link below! Your support is incredibly valuable to us and our wonderful herd.

Happy Valentine's Day from the animals at Goodheart ๐
It wouldn't be Valentine's Day without a few special treats, and of course, this extends to our rescued animals too! ๐๐๐
Happy #WorldPigWeek everyone ๐ท๐
At Goodheart Farm Animal Sanctuary, every week is an opportunity to appreciate our piggy friends but weโre always looking for ways to showcase their many wonderful qualities and encourage people to see them as the individuals they are ๐
Whether theyโre bathing in mud, building nests, or simply being their charming selves, our rescued pigs never fail to bring smiles to our faces. Today is no exception, as a fresh delivery of straw is always cause for much excitement amongst the pig gang! Watch as they play in the straw, craft their cosy nests and snuggle down together in the Pig Barn.

Father Christmas visits Goodheart ๐๐
The rescued animals at Goodheart Farm Animal Sanctuary had a very special visit today, from none other than Father Christmas himself! Despite his busy schedule, the man in red was happy to muck in with sanctuary jobs like feeding and bedding our animals and of course delivering their Christmas gifts! ๐๐
In early November, we launched our Deck the Stalls Appeal, to raise funds towards our winter running costs. We are so grateful to everyone who has donated, helping to raise almost ยฃ2,000 towards animal feed, bedding, medicine and more.
From our team and animals, we would like to say a huge thank you and a very Merry Christmas to you all ๐๐๐
If you haven't already, there's still time to donate via the link below ๐
