Two lambs have been killed with a third left seriously injured following an attack by a dog.

A walker has also been through a gate not on the public footpath and left it open, meaning the sheep have all been mixed up from their original groupings.

This has happened on the fields opposite the triangle at the bent (bottom of Highway Lane), the fields that the footpath to Ballidon cross and the fields behind them.

If anyone has seen anything at all then please contact Liz Edge on 07545 345 504.

Please also use this as a polite reminder that all dogs should be kept on leads as per the Highway Code – particularly at such a sensitive time of year when the sheep are in lamb.
