This year it became apparant that our reindeer herd would need to undergo some restucturing. Two males in the same pen is not a great idea when rutting time arrives. Similarly, we decided some fresh blood was needed to put to our breeding female. Both exisiting males have been moved onto new herds and a new bull has arrived with us. We are very excited at the potential of this new male as he is amlost exclusivley white in colour. White reindeer are rarwe in the wild and even rarer in a captive situation. He is truely beautiful and should be a great addition to our Christmas Tree enterprise. |

The Christmas Tree Farm and its sister company Billingley Christmas Trees Ltd have responded to demand from our customers.
"Our Christmas trees have become so popular we needed more" commented plantation manager Andrew Stenton. With this in mind a further plantation has been established on the beautiful Earl Fitzwilliam's Wentworth Estate. These Christmas trees are growing in one of the most picturesque regions of South Yorkshire. To find out more about the Wentworth Estate visit the website www.wentworthvillage.net |

| As the rain came down and down and down, the network of dykes and rivers that runs throught the Dearne Valley where our Christmas Tree farm is located rose higher and higher until they could take no more. As the rivers burst their banks the impact on both our arable land and our Christmas Tree plantations was disasterous. These young trees planted the year before could not survive the dramatic volume of water and drowned. This was a major finacnial blow for the business, but at least our homes survived unlike many in the area. |

In May 2005 as the blossom was on the trees and we were all starting to turn our thoughts to summer, the pitter patter of tiny hooves could be heard in the Billingley reindeer enclosure. |
