Snowstorm Devastation
A severe snowstorm swept across the farm, devastating grazing pastures and leaving their flock with a scarcity of food. Clive lamented the prolonged winter, stating: “Winters are long enough without them dragging into May.”
Harsh Conditions and Livestock Care
Venturing outdoors to care for his sheep, Clive described the challenging environment: “It’s been kind in some respects as it’s been very dry, but it’s been very cold.”
“It has been really, really hard for us, down to minus six and seven at night, but lovely days, so it’s been pleasant enough to work in, but no grass.” Understanding the critical needs of his animals, he added: “Sheep rely on grass, so we will go and feed them.”
Reflections on a Difficult Period
Addressing the camera, Clive further commented: “It’s not exactly summer yet. It’s been a tough lambing time, without a doubt. It’s been a hard month.” He also mentioned the severe climate conditions, explaining: “The icy air at times, you can feel it coming from the East, and so it’ll be nice when it’s over.”
Heartbreak on the Farm
Discovery of Loss
In the same episode, Amanda faced a heartbreaking discovery as she found a deceased lamb. With a somber tone, the shepherdess expressed: “Oh no. Here, look, I can see something, and it’s not good.”
The Realities of Farming
Reflecting on the often-difficult realities of farming life, Amanda observed: “Sometimes you get mysteries, and sometimes you get an answer, and sometimes you don’t, but that’s your answer. This poor little newborn lamb,” to which her daughter Clemmie responded with empathy: “That’s sad, isn’t it, mum?”
