<p>Leyburn farmer Roz Harman kitted out her newborn lambs in woolly jumpers and nappies after they lost their mothers during the severe drought</a> gripping Queensland and New South Wales.</p><p>The drought has left paddocks and crops barren and farmers in Australia’s east have struggled to find enough feed and water to keep their livestock alive.</p><p>The Bureau of Meteorology said conditions were unlikely to improve drastically in spring, Reuters reported</a>.</p><p>Roz Harman told Storyful the lambs in the video were between two days and a week old. She said the little ones needed the woolly jumpers to survive without their mothers’ warmth, as their wool was too thin to handle the winter weather.</p><p>“Nappies are for our benefit as it’s pretty hectic with six lambs in a small house pooing and weeing everywhere,” she said.</p><p>A Facebook page</a> called “Lamb Jumpers Helping Our Farmers” was established to provide the adorable little knits to farmers in need.
