As attacks on sheep by dogs are on the rise, farmers make a fresh appeal to walkers to control their animals. Anna Hill hears how one attack devastated a farmers' pedigree flock. The National Sheep Association tells Farming Today over 100 incidents have now been reported on its helpline.

Producer: Clare Freeman.
