Baby Piglets arrive at Cantref!We are really pleased to announce that one of our kune kune sows has had 10 baby piglets! The piglets were born just in time for the Easter weekend - they couldn't wait to start the Easter Egg Hunt! They are very small but extremley cute! So why not pop over to the pig pens the next time you visit Cantref to say hello! For more photos of the tremendous ten please click here!
From the 31st of March we are open everyday!
We have loads going on at Cantref this Easter. We have our Treasure Hunt from the 6th - 9th of April. Lots of your favourite shows and activities are back for 2012. We have bottle feeding lambs, tractor & trailer rides and the paddle boats have re-opened.
Cantref has been undergoing major refurbishment over the quieter months. Our Kitchen has moved and we will soon be redeveloping our new extended gift shop. Even the animals are getting new homes! The rabbits have bigger pens and we will soon have a new rodent corner.
We have loads of baby animals at Cantref for you to see this Easter. We have really cute fluffy baby lambs, cheeky goat kids and some gorgeous baby rabbits. Some of our newest arrivals can be seen in our photo galleries.

Mr Ev's is back at Cantref this February after he joined the Westenders Panto - Cinderella at the theatre in Brecon from the 21st January until the 28th of January. He had a brilliant time and we just hope he hasn't picked up too many bad habits off the Ugly Sisters!
At Cantref the sheep have come in ready for lambing in February. We can't wait to have lots of cute fluffy lambs running around again!

Britain's Got Talent Pig!In 2010 Star got through to the 2nd round of Britain's Got Talent and met all the Stars:- Ant & Dec, Simon, Amanda and Piers in Cardiff. He made special friends with Ant and even gave him a high five. He was not so popular with the backstage crew when he stole somebodies sandwiches while waiting to go on stage!! Lets hope the fame hasn't gone to his head!
Star also appeared with Iolo Williams on S4C's Bro on the 6th of October 2011. Iolo Williams is best know for his BBC and S4C Nature Shows. If you missed the show then follow the link from our Facebook Page.

We were also visited recently by Simon Thorne one of Wales' Top Composers to record our pigs making lots of noise for a Greek Tragedy he is currently working on.
