This was 07.30 to sunrise, today on Milston Down Salisbury Plain. It was minus 12 on the Downs and the water for the cattle was frozen solid. Cattle need to drink 45 litres each of water a day. The food supplies are also covered in frozen snow. I was with Ian Parsons and his family this morning from Upper Farm Milston, where I was born. Supplies of food are delivered around the clock and the water supplies are thawed out as these animals are right out on the exposed part of Salisbury Plain. Farmers here have been struggling to keep water supplies flowing during the cold weather.
