When you live on a hill farm, high up in the Yorkshire Dales, when its been frosty all day and the forecast is for a very wintry couple of days to come its reassuring to know the dairy is well stocked (even if some of it is for Christmas!), the freezer is full and the log store is plentiful.And the same preparations are made for the sheep and cattle but much, much sooner. During the summer the hay and silage that was made on those hot July days is stored it away safely to feed our stock during the long winter months ahead.
