Stuart Mactier feared the worst as he searched for the bodies of sheep which had fallen victim to the recent blizzards that struck the family farm.

So when the agriculture student dug deep into a 12ft snowdrift, he was astounded to discover a heavily-pregnant ewe blinking back at him from under a huge pile of snow and dead sheep.
