Unfortunatly the knackerman came and cleared our dead shed this afternoon so no photos sorry but a rough discription the tup was a texal waighed around twenty stone his neck about 28" when found on the edge of a small wood lots of marsh grass which was well flattened and drag marks around10' long at the begining of the drag marks a fair amount of splash marks possibly blood besides the neck wound which extended right across the throught a large amount of flesh was missing including the epiglotus and around 2 to 3" of both the carotid artery and the vain two shallow scratch marks on the shoulde

Over the last couple of weeks we have been losing lambs to what we have taken to be dogs the attacks take place at night and by first light the body had been got at probably local brocks and foxes it has been hard to tell what spersific injury caused the death untill yesterday not a lamb this time a big full grown stroppy tup (who chases the sheep dogs if hes that way out) still warm with what looks like one large bite wound on his throught which has removed everything down to the cerable vertabray. It might be a bit far fetched but could this be a big cat? if so will I need somthing bigger th
