Dogs chasing livestock can have devastating impacts on the animals causing harm and distress to farmers’ livelihoods.
• Keep dogs on a short lead and under control, especially near farm animals
• Don’t allow your dog to chase or take interest in sheep and lambs
• Always stay alert and take notice of any signs and notices in the countryside.
The friendliest of dogs, who mean no harm, can still cause pregnant ewes distress.
Thank you for supporting our farming community.
