The Big Sheep
The Big Sheep is an amusement farm park located in Abbotsham, Devon, England.
Before The Big Sheep was an amusement park it was known as Barton Farm,〔http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/the-big-sheep-bideford〕 a busy sheep farm owned by six generations of the same family. Due to challenges in the farming community, owner Rick Turner decided to bring in more profits by turning the farm into an attraction in 1988. The site started with an animal park and restaurant. After its initial focus on agriculture yielded disappointing returns, the park began to add entertainment attractions as well.〔("The Big Sheep Celebrates 25 Years" ), ''North Devon Journal'', 1 August 2013 .〕 The park gained attention for it daily sheep races.〔Perrott Phillips, ("Ghostly goings-on that stir among the cream teas" ), ''The Herald'', 5 January 1998 .〕〔Dymphna Byrne, ("Animal Crackers: Dymphna Byrne Discovers Sheep Racing and an Alligator Swamp on Some Wild Family Days Out" ), ''The Mail on Sunday'', 22 August 2004 .〕 The park suffered substantial losses in the 2001 outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease.〔("One year on: 'We were losing £3,000 a day'" ), BBC News, 19 February 2002.〕 In 2012 the park drew attention when Turner claimed that "needlessly pessimistic" weather forecasts by the Met Office were unnecessarily driving tourists away from local attractions.〔Richard Smith, ("Miserable Weather Forecasts Have Left Me In Sheep Depression: Theme Park Boss to Sue Met Office" ), ''The Mirror'', 4 October 2012 .〕〔Ryan Hooper, ("Tourist attraction boss considers suing Met Office over 'pessimistic' weather forecasts" ), ''The Independent'', 3 October 2012.〕
