Reminder – Dogs In Sheep Fields
There have been several people seen with dogs off their leads in fields around the village with grazing sheep.
As a reminder, we are in lambing season and dogs should not be allowed off the lead in fields that have livestock in them (or will do in the future)
Also all dog poo should be picked up in fields, as there is a risk to sheep of infection with fatal diseases (Gid and Sheep Measles) carried in dog faeces.
