Badger Gets a Lamb

Sad news.
Colin phoned last night to tell Philip that a Badger had killed a lamb on our little steep fields. You can tell it's a badger because the tail had been bitten off, the stomache ripped open and the liver taken out, the the carcass of the lamb had been left. If it had been a fox the whole carcass would have been taken probably to feed young at this time of year. We have several sets of Badgers on the farm.
Touch wood we have never tested positive for TB and we think it is because our sets of badgers don't carry the virus, and badgers being territorial keep incoming badgers away. So we tend to leave them alone as much as possible. this is awful though, and so much more because only recently we have been seeing badgers shuffling along at night and we think oh look at them aren't they lovely and now this!
Well this is farming and the country like!
