The first of the twins, a beautiful boy, has been named Leo, with his twin sister specially named Koza.

Callum shared: “This one (Koza) was a special one to us so we decided to manually select this name for an incredible reason, with a special thanks to Nicky Crum for the name idea.

"Koza stands for ‘goat’ in Ukrainian, so we would like to show our solidarity and support by naming one of babies in their beautiful language!”

The farm has announced it is set for a big year, with more information to come on its social media.
