Police in the Bishop's Castle area have asked dog owners to keep their pets on a lead near sheep, even if they trust them to behave.
In a newsletter to residents, the Bishop's Castle Safer Neighbourhood team has also reported incidents of "dangerously out of control" dogs scaring and biting people, including a jogger, in separate incidents.
In the sheep-killing incidents the officers report that 13 sheep were killed in a field at Beguildy, which is right on the border near Clun.
Officers say sheep were attacked on two occasions in the same field, on December 13 and January 21.
