They are stunning animals but being a livestock keeper i dont like them. Saw a fox one night, about 2am and it just walked round my sheep. Either they didnt see it or they were just not bothered but they didn't flinch! However if a stray dog goes ito the field they go nuts!
DH called me once to go to a field 1/2 a mile away. Hecwas there watching a fox stalk sheep and geese. I had time to run up, and he was having a ball! Owner eventually came out of the house and shooed it away but he didnt go. He was very brazen.
During lambing time we have had to get a hunter over to shoot a few. They are very destructive.
