Just checking ... is it definitely England only?  or can the rest of the UK join in?

It's a good questionnaire, which is high praise from me.  Usually I find things that make it difficult for me to complete them - so well done!   :thumbsup:

I have completed it on my own behalf and will do it for BH later on.

Can I ask why just England? Is it a study of how sheep farmers in England keep their sheep compared to other countries?

Lots of people wanting you to clarify, [member=152890]kaylieh[/member], whether it really is England only and not Wales, Scotland, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland...

I would happily share the link for you on Facebook too, but need the answer to that question first.

really sorry everyone for not getting back to you sooner, I'm new to forums!

just to clarify, it is only applicable to those in England, not the whole of the UK as its for my dissertation I've tried to keep it as specific as possible. Though if I had more time it would be really interesting to of used the whole of the UK.

Thankyou for all the interest and to those of you that have already completed it  :D

To be fair to the girl I thought it was pretty self explanatory,
Please could any sheep farmers/workers in England that are over 18, no matter what the flock size - spare some time to fill out my short questionnaire about antibiotic use in sheep for my dissertation,
and then "DISCLAIMER: THIS QUESTIONNAIRE IS ONLY APPLICABLE AND TO BE COMPLETED BY SHEEP FARMERS/WORKERS WITHIN ENGLAND."

if it was UK, I would have gladly participated

should you at a later date decide to ask the same questions to farmers in other parts of the UK, it would be very interesting to compare and contrast the answers

Thanks for the clarification, [member=152890]kaylieh[/member]

Can I suggest you post it also on the Accidental Smallholder Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/accidentalsmallholder/?fref=ts), and those of us on Facebook can all share it from there?

I would add that it would be useful to have an update posted on the  survey and any  information or details  that come from it.   :thumbsup:
