There is a war on farmers in Westwern countries, just as Covid was such an assault, driven by those that give our "leaders" their instructions. Wouldn't surprise us if this excessive rain had an artificial derivation. The technology exists. We are forced to wonder how those in power, who are so comfortable with evil, are so certain there will be no retribution.

Get those lambs some lammacs they keep them dry and prevent the wind chill. I used to use to them to good effect, they also seem to deter the foxes. You really are top notch when it comes to hygiene and good practice. It’s the attention to detail that makes the difference.I have never before heard of an Irishman who was too weak to drink. There’s a first time for everything! So glad you save the lamb on the bank. It’s ironic that Ireland gets to choose the name of this storm.

Would it be possible to erect some kind of three sided shelters on the lee side of the hill? I am thinking setting up a couple of upright posts with a cross piece on a permanent basis in the lambing fields and then adding a sloping tarp... well pegged down... on the windy side just up during lambing time. It would give the ewes a protected place to rest their lambs on a night that is lashing it down.

It's never stopped raining here in Scotland since beginning of July either definitely something very suspicious going on with the weather. It's obvious the government's are trying their best to crush farmers out of existence using any means they can. It's happening all over. Have you not seen the farmers protest all over Europe? Massive fires in Texas where all the cattle farmers are? Fires all over America destroying pig farms and food manufacturer ingredients plants. It is horrendous what is happening. Dutch farmers are being squeezed out of existence with so many restrictions. They are so angry they voted out their PM in the last election. Apparently the globalists have a plan for all the Dutch farmland. They secretly want to build a Tri State city on all the farmland. So no food independence for the country.
