Today the problems on the west of our island actually made it to the British news. A measure of how bad it is in itself, really.
Such a loss of stock is heartbreaking for the farmers - it isn't even the money as much as the fact that they have bred those sheep, cared for them, they really know them. And now they'll have to start again. Or not, if they can't afford it.
