Attention all Dog Owners

ATTENTION ALL DOG OWNERS
The grass field which belongs to Malthouse Farm and lies to its immediate south will in a few days be home to 50 sheep.
Due to our wet summer, the excessive grass growth requires grazing down.  This will ensure a fresh, young, healthy sward for this year’s hay crop.
Consequently, we are intending to graze the field in blocks, bound by a temporary electric fence.   This will minimise poaching of the grass and facilitate efficient sheep management.
During this rotational grazing period which will last several weeks, we ask for the co-operation of all users of the footpath which crosses this field.  
Most importantly, dogs must be kept on leads at all times.   The ewes are pregnant, so must not be worried by dogs.   The temporary fences WILL be electrified and WILL  give any errant pets / children a nasty shock!   
 
Please look out for the signs on the footpath gate.
Thanking you in advance.
