Farmer's reminder in light of dog attacks
Dogwalkers are being reminded that, no matter how good their pet's recall, a lead should always be used when you're walking near sheep.
It's the time of year when many ewes around the Island are pregnant, with lambs due any moment.
Will Cain is a dairy farmer at Glendown Farm, which keeps sheep at the Chasms.
He told Manx Radio there can be many consequences of a dog attack:
'Unprecedented' situation after deemster in Island's first group litigation case resigns
Acting Deemster became 'significantly unwell' after hearing evidence
Immigration changes designed to stop exploitation by 'bad eggs'
Minister admits government has been 'overly enthusiastic' in attracting new people
Plantation wood, telegraph poles and Satnav to be discussed in the House of Keys
13 questions tabled for oral answer at this week's sitting
Contingency budget for horse tram tracks 'significantly increased'
Treasury advice to DoI due to 'volatile financial climate'
