With the Autumn school half term holidays fast approaching in many areas of the UK the National Sheep Association (NSA) is reminding those seeking a half term staycation of the risk to sheep flocks from pet dogs allowed to run free in the countryside.
 
Sheep farmers up and down the country often report an increase in dog attacks on their sheep during popular holiday periods. With more families still choosing to stay in the UK for an autumn break this year, there are concerns that a spike in devastating attacks could once again be experienced.
