Lambing

Don’t forget that all that dogs must be on a lead around livestock especially now lambing time is upon us. In the last few weeks we have had a sheep killed and two injured on the land from over the road from Saddlescombe down to behind Foxash. There is an electric fence by the Saddlescombe Road layby and signs that sheep are grazing, it is National Trust land so please abide by the bylaws. I’m sure I speak for all the sheep farmers in the area.

Thanks

From Colette and Dave at Saddlescombe Farm.
