dog attacks

NFU publishes its response to the UK farm assurance review and commits to learning from lessons in the past when it comes to developing and implementing environmental standards, a 10-year vision for the beef sector to help build confidence and a sustainable future for British beef, and National Sheep Association revealed 87% of farmers surveyed have experienced a dog attack on their sheep in the last 12 months
