Meant nothing but taking them in
« It is trouble having to have the sheep inside, but it has to be that way until it looks something, » says Benedikt Arnbjörnsson, farmer at Bergsstadir in South Thingeyjarsýsla, in a conversation with mbl.is, but today farmers in the north of the country have had to help rescue.
Benedikt sheep her sheep in the late afternoon as it predicted snowfall.
« It’s been just a year since it was all wrong here, you realized that it meant nothing but to take them in, » says Benedikt.
Asked how the sheep have gone in, Benedikt says it has gone well, but he has a lot of money in large houses.
