Farmers in the west of the Island are facing a significant loss of livestock as a result of the freezing weather.
Sheep have been found perished in exposed fields and the loss coming midway through lambing includes new-born animals and pregnant ewes.
It's a distressing situaiton for farmers, some of whom are also concerned about cattle in calf.
