Cold and Snow

We have the horses in the barn, the sheep should be ok as they are so well insulated.
The rabbits are all under cover

the chickens have their chicken house and have always been fine before.

But we are fretting about the cows. The Highlands should be ok and have survived other cold wet weather - although this is more sustained than we have had since we got them. They have shelter under trees and out of the wind and were last seen huddling together for warmth. We have given them lots of hay, as having a full tummy of hay being digested is like central heating for them apparently. As there isn't any more room in the barn and they don't really lead well enough to get them in there we have to just hope they are hardy enough. Big worry!
