Swaledale Sheep outside Pry House Farm

A regular sight – sheep being driven between field and farm

There are many reasons why you might come across a flock of sheep being driven along the road by a farmer and his dog.  They have to come into the yard for clipping, dipping, tupping, lambing, dosing, foot bathing – the list goes on and on.  If you get held up on your journey we are sorry but to us moving sheep about is all part of a day’s work and we ask for your patience.  Thank you.
