    Ive just got off the phone to the brother and hes having a terrible time trying to keep the cows warm down in the shed. Now hes plenty of hay lined for them to eat, but they are shivering terribly and hes afraid for their health, particular the females and their milk count.

    How exactly do you keep the cows warm during a period as cold as this, weve considered heating lamps, but im not sure if theyd be affective or not. Is there anybody else in this situation?

    Judging by your username you should have plenty of wool to give them since you've fleeced the country!

    Cover them in petrol and light them. They will be warm, and you will have dinner ready too!
