About This Video
From the cowshed to the pigsty to the stable to the henhouse, a working farm is home to dozens of different species all sharing the same land and contributing to rural life in different ways. This animated farm story introduces children to cows, sheep, pigs, goats, horses, chickens, ducks, geese, donkeys and farm dogs and cats — showing where each animal lives on the farm, what it eats, what it provides and what its young are called. The farmer appears in each section, demonstrating the daily care each animal needs.
Perfect for children aged 2 to 7 before a farm visit or for any child curious about animals and food. After watching, ask: which farm animal did you find most interesting? Which job would you most want on a farm? Free to watch with no account needed.

Parents' Questions
Which animals live on the farm in this animated story and what does each one do?
This farm tour introduces the complete cast of a working farm. Dairy cows are milked twice a day to produce the milk that becomes cheese, butter and yoghurt. Sheep provide wool (shorn once a year in summer) and lamb. Pigs eat almost anything and grow quickly. Goats provide milk and are excellent climbers and escape artists that the farmer monitors carefully near fences. Horses were historically used for heavy farm work but now appear mainly on smaller mixed farms as working animals. Chickens provide eggs and learn to return to the henhouse every evening instinctively as the light fades.
Is Who Lives on the Farm a good video for children preparing for a farm visit?
Yes — this is exactly what the video is designed for. Children who have watched it arrive at a farm knowing the name of every animal they will meet, what it provides and where it typically lives on the farm. Instead of vaguely experiencing 'a lot of animals', they approach each species with specific knowledge and specific questions: 'Which cows give the most milk?' 'How many eggs does one hen lay per week?' 'Why is the pig enclosure so muddy?' Children who arrive with prior knowledge always have a richer farm experience than those encountering it without context.
What age is the Who Lives on the Farm animated story designed for?
Designed for children aged 2 to 7. Two to four year olds love learning animal names and sounds — the mooing cow, the oinking pig, the baaing sheep provide irresistible audio engagement. Children aged 5 to 7 absorb the specific facts about what each animal provides and how the farmer cares for it daily. One of the most popular farm preparation videos for nursery and Reception classrooms planning autumn or spring farm trips — and one of the most replayed videos in the collection because children want to quiz themselves on the animal names.
