Lucky we don't have a fox problem down here in Tassie and I hope we never see them here. When we get some sheep (can't wait as I love them) we are going to have a couple of alpaccas to keep guard just in case of dogs. Though nobody has had a problem here in G.P. with dogs that I know of. Better to be safe than sorry.

We think we have worked out the problem after talking to someone who bred Wessex Saddlebacks for many years. Also we are now going to have our Sows farrowing in October and March when it's not so cold. It's a learning curve. Thanks for the cyber hugs.

We've got a fox plague & it must be heartbreaking finding dead lambs all over the paddock.roger findlaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838548306974959477.post-3626036730623434012012-08-06T07:30:02.337+10:002012-08-06T07:30:02.337+10:00Oh my goodness, I am so truly sorry to read this. ...Oh my goodness, I am so truly sorry to read this. You must be devastated. I hope you and Petunia recover soon... this is heartbreaking news. I can so feel for you, and wish I was there go give you both a hug! I hope you both feel better soon, time is a great healer, and sadly sometimes these things happen and are out of our control. *Big hugs* - JacquiJacqui Emmetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00529055030739815514noreply@blogger.com
