Hungry sheep
Jonathan: The snow has continued on and off all day – we now have more than 150mm and the roads uncleared. No deliveries, so I have now today run out of feed for the sheep and they can’t get to the grass for the snow. I’ve made a make-shift hay-rack and loaded it with straw, and though there’s precious little nutrition in that it’s at least better than the rough grasses these Hebrideans usually make do with. I had intended during this week to move the sheep to the next field, but engineering work has had to take priority. I need to fix the the electric fencing first, but that won’t be possible in heavy snow; and anyway the sheep won’t get to the grass there either. Milder weather would be a god-send, but right now what I need most is some bags of Sheep Nuts!
