I think about 20 sheep a year and couple of cows. The latest pair toddled off to

Belgium a week or so ago. We seem to have two or three small packs and a couple of line males who have a territory encompassing parts of Germany, Belgium and now as far in as around 20 Miles east of Amsterdam. At the moment it’s a novelty and every photo and video of them is on the news. The body of one hit on a road a couple of years back was big news.

But it’s getting more and more common and it’s only a matter of time until they are widespread here I think. Then we would have serious issues because our farmers simply haven’t planned for major predators.
