I have seen pictures of farmers with their pregnant ewes basically on an island - it is not going to be a good lambing season for them.

We are just praying we do not get a repeat of last year's March snowfall; the final toll was 'over 10% of the island's sheep lost' - about 15,000. Yes - the sheep do outnumber people by about 2:1!

I really do hope that you have dry weather and drier land by the start of lambing.
