Farmlife Framed: Your feel-good festive farm photos
Christmas on the farm is like no other, which is why we’ve been asking you to share snaps and videos of the festive season on your farm with us.
We are impressed by your entries to our Christmas on the farm photo competition, with adorable and hilarious farm animals donning Santa hats and tinsel, creative Christmas bale art and fun farm selfies all in the mix.
For a bit of festive competition, we’re giving away a load of Farmers Weekly goodies to our three favourite photos, including a 2019 FW diary worth £24.99.
How’s that for a January blues buster?

Winner
Thumbs up to Richard Paul from Arncliffe in the Yorkshire Dales with these wonderfully wintery Christmas bale art creations.
“It’s great for the local kids in the village and passing motorists, and brings a bit of magic at Christmas,” says Richard.
Runner-up
Farmer’s daughter Josie Lewis captured this fabulously festive shot of Bruno the Welsh sheep dog bringing the Christmas spirit to work on the farm in Pembrokeshire.
“He is only seven months old so it was his first Christmas but he took it in full swing as you can see in the photo. He loves the cows and apparently tinsel too,” says Josie.
Highly commended
