Snow again

January saw a week of snow at Borough farm and although only a few inches actually fell, it froze hard and turned the farm drive into a sheet of ice. The sheep flock were completely unconcerned. The Romney ewes are a hardy breed and scarcely seem to notice the cold. They gather around the bale feeders and await their next bale of silage, fortunately all of the sheep were in easily accessible fields and feeding wasn’t difficult.

On the coastal ground at Mortehoe, the snow hardly settled, so they carried on grazing as usual
