“THIS IS NOT JUST A JOB FOR ME, THIS IS A WAY OF LIFE. THIS IS WHO I AM” RICHARD GREENWOOD
GOD’S OWN COUNTRY TURNER TOP FARM Adrienne Kerr
It’s lambing season, which is a cruicial time of the year when a farmers work hours never end. This is no 9 to 5 job, this is an hour after hour constant workload which can only be completed by someone driven, committed and passionate, and at Turner Top Farm, that roll is taken on by Richard and his wife, Liz, alongside their three children: George, Eleanor and Mary. The kid’s are off school for Easter and are happy to be spending that time helping out at the farm.

“Richard couldnt tell you which of the kids he was holding in this picture but he could tell you everything you’d need to know about the lamb” - Liz Greenwood
Mary adds a small amount of hydrated lime under the bedding which can help to reduce infections.
Liz prepares a gate to secure the sheeps head which enables her lambs to feed properly.
“We couldn’t leave them by themselves, but we still had to work. We would put them in their chairs and they’d sit watching us happily.” - Liz Greenwood
Mary watches over the newly bown lamb to ensure the mother interacts and bonds with it.

George and Eleanor practice driving on their toy diggers.
A lamb, dead at birth, lays skinned on the floor waiting to be disposed of.
The skin of the dead lamb, pictured left, is placed like a jumper on the lamb, pictured above, to trick the mother into beleiving it is her own.
George cries after having had Richard throw sheep excriment at his face because he was misbehaving. It is a reminder for George to be sensible on the farm.

Richard holds Eleanor with the farms new sheepdog, pictured right.
In their first days of life a large number of lambs die. Taking care and paying attention to detail improves a lambs survival rates.
Eleanor goes round the lambs and uses iodine to sanitise their stomachs to prevent umbilical infections
Eleanor prepares an injectable antibiotic to releave foot pain for some of the sheep.
Orphaned lambs require a milk formula every 4 hours for the first week which is made from a milk substitute.
