During a trip on Wednesday to Wick Court, a Farms for City Children project in Gloucestershire, she was seen [feeding a bottle of milk to an adorable hand-reared lamb named Stinky](https://twitter.com/KensingtonRoyal/status/859786992095309825). According to the official Kensington Palace Twitter account, the Duchess of Cambridge and students from the Vauxhall Primary School also fed animals on the farm, [planted onions in the vegetable garden](https://twitter.com/KensingtonRoyal/status/859767477227720705), and even [herded piglets](https://twitter.com/KensingtonRoyal/status/859803252086513664).
