The Boss has the dismal job of picking up the dead this morning. Did not matter where the ewes lambed yesterday, anything born in the storm died, even tucked well under good shelter belts. Even some of the lambs born the day before have died too. Hate to think what happened to the calves, some will just have been washed away as the creeks came up so much, and the cows will have tucked them into shelter in the little creeks out of the wind.
We go to so much effort all year for this time of year, and try to time lambing/calving for the warm weather, but this was one of the worst storms we've had.
