half of dead sheep found...
« on: April 26, 2012, 11:08:48 pm »
Found remains in my field this evening. Not one of ours (definitely), technically/realistically how to dispose and should I bother telling neighbour (wasn't particularly interested last year when live lambs were in our field). It is in fields where our sheep are currently, should I worry about what it died of (no blood on remaining carcase, so guessing not actually killed by a fox).

Scoop it up in a bin bag and return it to him!

Wouldnt want it in with my sheep.

Leave it on his doorstep with a polite and concerned note if need be.
