There are two cute new arrivals down on Willow Farm, but they’re both having a difficult start.

Poor Cowslip the calf is missing her mum. None of the other animals seem to want to make friends until a strange-looking new creature arrives who’s just as lonely as Cowslip.
Follow the adventures of Snowy and Cowslip as they find their feet on the farm.
