Thankfully all the alpacas, goats and what we considered the most vulnerable sheep were and still are in the shed eating hay morning day and night.
Unfortunately the hay delivery has been unable to get either so I'm literally on my last big bale then it will be down to the few small square ones we keep for easy transportation. By my calculations we will have about 3 spare small bales by Saturday when the hay is now due to arrive!
Yesterday we managed to get the thick of the snow off the top bit of our drive so the drifts of 3 and 4 feet were down to more like three inches and Ian our neighbour dug out the bottom of the drive so we were able to get the car and my ton of Camelibra up to the barn.
Hettie the tractor having a well deserved sunbathe after pushing tons of snow - note to self, buy a buck for the front before next winter!

oh no!! 12 inches of snow in a short time frame is so rough :( I hope and pray all the sheep are well and your hay gets to you in time.

Thank goodness you planned the huge barn and had it ready in time, it sounds like it's been a life saver. You'll soon be back on an even keel (do you even remember what that feels like after the last two years!)
tehol6051Thinking of you and hoping that things aren't as bad as you fear once the thaw arrives.
Very snowy! And not much fun when you have animals! Hope it is continuing to melt.
Hope you've managed to get to your sheep by now and hope the snow is disappearing for you. shirley & Robbie
Sounds like the worst snowfall for years in your area ! Hope the melt is quick and the casulties are few, I guess with hindsight bringing the sheep nearer, might have made life alot easier for everyone .. here's hoping this is the last of the heavy snowfall for this year ...roll on the Spring ! ....Jayne
