SOCKS FOR SHEEP

A flock of sheep are showing the latest
fashion … multi-coloured socks! Thanks to
their farmer, Stephen Banks from Wiltshire,
the group of sheep are walking around their
barn with their feet covered - to help them
stay clear of disease! After temperatures
began to fall, Stephen moved his sheep
indoors to keep them out of the cold weather.
But, when the animals were safe inside they
started getting foot rot. “When sheep walk in
straw in a barn they can get infections. If
these new socks work, it is a very sensible
idea” said local vet ²) Anthony Wilkinson.
