Isn't there something you can spray on arable crops to stop deer and rabbits grazing it? I remember seeing as advert for it in farmers weekly years ago but don't know what it was or what it was called.

But the OP doesn’t want to stop the sheep eating the weeds, sorry, sweet flowers & herbs.
I think it will work at first but eventually I think they will get used to itNo, I do want to stop them, it is the rubbish on the riverbank that they are going for.
Some interesting suggestions on here, thanks, will investigate further, if only as an excuse to google ' Cardona bra'
Anyone think the deer buzzers may work on sheep ?
Grazers, never used bit but they seem to sell plenty.Isn't there something you can spray on arable crops to stop deer and rabbits grazing it? I remember seeing as advert for it in farmers weekly years ago but don't know what it was or what it was called.

If sheep are continually dogged from an area (say near the river), would they stay away?
Thats not entirely true. Hefted flocks stay pretty much on their own territory, and hefted flocks (original flock cullled in foot and mouth) have been reestablished by continually pushing the flock back to their territory.No, absolutely not. They go where they want unless physically stopped. Particularly if they find what to them is nicer grazing.

Plenty flocks in the Highlands fully hefted, also the North of England.Not if the flock know of better grazing nearby, chase them all you like they'll turn into walking skeletons to get to it.
