Suspected dog attack on 30 sheep
More than 30 pedigree sheep were injured following a suspected dog attack on farmland near Welshpool.
At least six of the Southdown herd belonging to the Parker family were left with facial injuries, and another three are missing after the incident near Crew Green.
Farmers believe a dog went on the rampage in fields at Bausley on the Breidden Hills some time yesterday afternoon.
Miriam Parker, who keeps sheep and horses, found the injured sheep at about 5pm. She said many needed stitches.
She said: "A dog had attacked a neighbour's sheep earlier in the day and we went up to the fields at 5pm to check ours, and a dog had gone through them.
"Out of 34 sheep we've got six with facial wounds and there's three missing at the moment. The dog has mainly gone for their faces so it's probably not a big dog, but other sheep were killed or injured earlier on."
She appealed for anyone with information about the incident to call police.
