shopFeeding Sheep In Snow
Posted 22 Dec 2009
The snow makes life harder for everyone at the farm: water pipes freeze and burst, access is made a lot more difficult and the animals need more food. You may have noticed that the sheep have not been visible for a while during this snowy spell. This is not because they have become camouflaged by the snow. The reason for this is because Howard feeds them off-cam at the bottom of the LambWatch field where they get shelter from the wind and snow behind a wall. This morning though, Howard made an exception and fed them all a fresh bale of hay in front of the webcam around the sign! They were quite intrigued by the snowman too!

A lot of extra work for Howard but entertaining for us. Thank you, Howard! And this is my first look at one of the hand-raised lambs all grown up. She still has her funny face! I wonder which bird that is that I am hearing? Thanks for this, Dan - quite a lovely sight!

Welcome home Dan and thanks for this clip - it's really good to be able to watch it again. Could the bird you're hearing be a robin Helen?

Thanks Howard for feeding your flock in full view of the webcam - I have not seen so many sheep since the lambs were in the field. Hope the weather improves very soon for both humans and animals. I shall enjoy watching this clip many, many times - thanks for ten minutes of pleasure.
