The weather forecast was spot on for yesterday and the damage around here was much greater than the storm a couple of weeks ago, with dozens of fallen trees making the journey to work challenging; and taking Ed almost two hours!
The Friesian cattle which are all inside for winter, were bedded up and fed by Ed, Duncan and Donald whilst Amanda and I checked the Belted Galloways which all overwinter outside.
Duncan drops straw into the barn with the telehandler and then forks up the straw by hand.
There are seven groups of Belties and all their fences needed checking;
fortunately there was just a small tree to be removed from a fence in the Clockhouse and a slightly larger Beech limb on a Fence at East Lawn which will be cut at a later date as the cattle can’t get past it.
We moved Spot into the pig sty with Polly before the storm arrived. The old Nissan building is stone built and sturdy with a corrugated arched roof screwed into a metal frame. It was a shock to find the roof ripped off this morning and the stone wall cracked. Spot and Polly are fine if not a little confused, but they were soon distracted by a good breakfast while the roof was lifted back on.
Heavy weights will keep the roof in place for now but it's no longer a snug fit.
A number of roof and side panels are missing from various barns, but worse than that is a barn which has been torn apart by the wind and cast out across a field.
