Even large adult sheep?! that's so scary!


The BBC filmed Badger watch in what is now our sheep paddock!! There are lots of sets but we've never seen any physical evidence of them (ie. poo or footprints)
Apparantly, shortly before we moved in some scumbags from Birmingham broke in, illegally captured some badgers and took them for baiting.

yes im afraid so even large fully grown ewes we have north country cheviots and texel and they've killed several of these.

it depends some badgers can live in harmony with other livestock but others...
same as a fox once he's got a taste of blood he'll just keep going back.  :(
