Visiting an arable farm

Touch wood I'll be 20 weeks in July when we plan to go away for a few days to a festival. We want to stay at a very good country house b&b which also has an arable farm (although it looks like the house is very big, on spacious grounds).

I've checked - they've got sheeps and lamb but the lambing season is over (apparently, I'm a total townie)

Which is why I ask - is it okay to stay at the B&B for a few nights? No issues with the animals - toxomplasmosis etc?

Sorry for stupid question. I'm not a country girl!

will be fine, have spent a lot of my life on farms, animals always have bugs so make sure you wash your hands if you touch any animals etc, but once lambing is over there is no more risk than you would get from a dog or horse.

Of course tyou will be fine, even if you handle the animals just wash your hands regularly, maybe take a tube of that alcohol hand wash too x

just remember to wash your hands if you touch animals/soil/something that looks like soil! and you will be fine
