The full extent of the loss of livestock is not yet known, but is expected to run into the thousands.
Sheep, cows and their young are still being dug out of the snow.
Speaking live on Manx Radio today, Agriculture Minister Phil Gawne says it's clear assistance for Manx farmers is absolutely necessary:
