Ta.

It looks like a lonely sheep, but seconds later it's two mates followed it and got herded round by a sheep dog. The camera does lie.

Purely by chance I spent the last hour of daylight in the lambing sheds of one of my sheep friends. Freshly minted Lleyn lambs.

Most sheep are bred for eating these days somewhere down the line, apart from hobby flocks and pets. Although hill sheep are often kept to breed crossbred ewes which go down the hill to better ground to produce lambs direct to market. Google 'stratified sheep system'.

There's lots of sheep stuff on social media, and not just farmers look at it.

Way back when wool was worth lots the longwools were bred, now that wool's worth feck all there are sheep being bred that shed their wool and don't need clipping. Texels and Beltex are pug ugly, Eurosheep that have a lot of muscle (meat).

There's a lot to this sheep farming lark!

You're not even 70 yet, about a great age! I spoke with my old man after fishing yesterday and he said.... Boy yer mum and I now are aiming for 85.

My reply.... f**k my luck.

I feel like I'm 85 some days when I'm struggling up a hill!

He got off lightly compared to some attacks. But the uselessness of dog owners is incredible. Not that I'm surprised knowing how one of my neighbours has no control over their mongrel.

[Will Smith]

If I were him Dave I would carry a gun with me when doing my rounds and shoot them on sight if not under control and worrying stock . These folks who have no control over their dogs are a complete disgrace .

He's an ex-copper. Probably wouldn't get a licence!

No control and not a clue about the countryside. Some time back some moron posted a 'dog cam' video of his dog running around out of his sight and chasing sheep all over the place. He thought it was funny.

I know one sheep man who shoots first and asks questions second. He says that once the dog's had a taste of blood it'll only want more. But I have also seen tales on SM of farmers losing their guns for shooting dogs, or even threatening to.

I have edited my post Dave, I believed that a farmer had every right to shoot any dog that is worrying his stock, maybe I am wrong but, I find it hard to believe that under those circumstances a gun licence would be revoked or guns confiscated.

They can indeed shoot dogs worrying stock.There may well have been more to the stories than the facts as presented. But that's social media.
