On the farm in January.



Well this month started with bad weather and it is still lying around here and there.
Due to the depth of snow the sheep have been given more silage than normal as their ability to graze any grass has been greatly reduced.All the feeding takes much longer in these weather conditions as field gates don't open so easily and just the effort needed to travel to and from the fields takes more time.
Hopefully this will be the last of the 'white stuff', we don't want anymore especially none in March and April when the lambs are due.

Cool picture - why do they have colors on them?

I was thinking of your sheep when we had all that snow

I love to see your photos. We are covered in a blanket of snow in my area, but that's normal for this time of year. I hope your snow melts soon and the sheep can graze the grass easily once again.
Thank you for telling me what the colors mean...I get it now! Learn something new everyday, thank you!
Wow! You certainly have it bad up there - we don't have any snow left! Lovely pic, though!

I also love all of the colors. It is a beautiful photo. I am wondering if you lose sheep due to the cold. It remains cold here but so far we have had a mild winter with not much snow.

I am also wondering about the green on the sheep.
