Here are a selection of pictures from the Slindon farm, taken during the open lambing season.

The many families and schools who have been visiting have watched lambs being born and even been able to cuddle and pet some of the animals.

The annual open lambing has been going on at Gaston Farm since March 19 and runs until this Sunday, April 17.
