Locations with Animals

Here is a small selection from our wide net of farm animals all with film-friendly owners and easily accessible locations.

On our locations we have broken the boundaries of typical farm animals to cater for the needs of your shoot.

You might think these cows were hired into a studio to shoot this film. No! The crew and cast of Elvie came to the farm to find the genuine article for milking cows.Collaboration, flexibility and an experimental approach resulted in the director, farmer and cows finding a way to make it work. The welfare of the cows was always put first, and with a careful transition from their normal day’s routine to being filmed “on set”, the animals relaxed into their roles, and the day’s filming was a great success. 

Chris, the farmer, took on seven farmer apprentices, leading the way from job to job, with the Sidemen setting eachother challenges at every opportunity.They learned how to round up sheep, pen them up, split off ewes from the lambs, so the ewes could be shorn, and move them on to new grass. With cattle, they weighed them and checked their condition.The farm has hosted a handful of shoots in the past, but nothing quite so involved as this one. Not many farmers would be up for such a challenge, but Chris embraced it and has himself become quite the hero with the fans’ comments coming through in their thousands “Funniest Sidemen Sunday in weeks and it was also informative + Farmer Chris is a legend”
