Somewhere between one and two million pounds of government money will be needed to keep the Island's farming industry going, following the recent snow and freezing conditions.
That's according to Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister Phil Gawne, who said it's thought the total number of sheep and lambs lost could eventually rise to around eight thousand.
He revealed the figures live on Manx Radio earlier today.
The source of the money required, however, is not yet certain:
Suspended sentence for man who stabbed brother in argument
26-year-old will also be subject to two-year suspended sentence supervision order
No date set for reopening of NCAS reuse centre
Date will be announced 'as soon as practical', says minister
Police urge public to check person's identification if claiming to be a police officer
Constabulary says it's not aware of an officer visiting a Manx resident to voice concerns over social media posts
