Two sheep farming brothers haven't spoken to each other for forty years due to differences in their personalities, complicated by one brother's poor temper and alcoholism (it is implied his problems caused him to be disinherited, another source of strife between the two men), and the other brother's resentment and jealousy. They live in adjacent houses on the family farm, legally owned by the sober brother. Both are unmarried and attached to their flocks. A prize-winning ram belonging to the alcoholic brother is found to have scrapie, causing all the sheep in the whole region - even though they show no symptoms - to be destroyed as a precaution so that the disease does not spread to the entire country. The farmers must also burn all their hay and disinfect the barns.
