He continued: "The little one was born on 12 May but it was really important we kept it under wraps whilst we carefully monitored the first weeks of her life."We've actually had quite a few families that have come in especially to see it after last night's Facebook post.Visitors and supporters of the farm have been invited to suggest names for the new arrival on the attraction's Facebook page.
