Farmlife Framed: Lambing selfies and snowy scenes

Lambing flurries and heavy snowfall hasn’t managed to halt the avalanche of reader photos arriving at Farmers Weekly HQ.

Severe snowfall in recent weeks has made for some stunning snaps, but it is always worth remembering the farmer struggles not shown in the pretty pictures, as they battle to keep livestock safe and roads open for milk tankers and the British public.

We’ve cherry-picked some of our favourite photos sent in over the past few weeks of lambing and the big freeze on the farm.
