Neighbors sheep threaten my dogs.

[SmallHolder1]

Yes, but the OP asked and the dogs are their responsibility. The sheep won't kill/worry other people's livestock.

The sheep are causing quite a lot of disturbance, their tearing through my gardens and causing stress to myself and my animals.

Perhaps you need to assist with the fencing: his sheep out of yours and your dogs out of his. Simple.

His property doesnt conjoin with my property, its quite a stretch down the road from me, on the opposite side of the Valley in a different town.

He's an arse then. He does have the law on his side as regards dog worrying though.

The farm isnt fenced for sheep, we have a barbed wire fence, however I am litterally ordering sheep fencing this week.
Due to the unique location of my farm being surrounded by waterways on most sides, I havent really had the need to fence the dogs in and they are generally very good at staying put, particularly as the more dominant dogs have trouble walking. But these strange new animals have definitely gotten their attention, particularly my brothers new dog who I agree, does require more training.
At this point I do just want the sheep gone so I can go back to life as usual.

Tell him thanks that he's now effectively trained your dogs to chase sheep because they were on their territory and that you think his attitude stinks and gives other careful farmers a bad name.

The farmer still hasnt picked up the sheep, tempted to stock up on lamb

wouldn't blame you

 

[SmallHolder1]

Why would you have sheep chasing dogs, living in sheep country?

I dont.

I know a farmer that had hassle with a neighbours sheep keep getting in so he started getting the sheep in to a yard he didn't use and ringing the owner of the sheep to tell him where they were, but he wouldn't let him drive them back across the field they had to take them round the road that was a long way, they soon got fed up and fixed their fence

Done that myself, pen them on concrete with water and leave them there for pick up. Surprising how fast they're gone!

What has the neighbour been having done ? @SmallHolder1

I thought he was having topsoil removed/sold but apparently hes burying hardcore...
I think he leases the land out as last year it was cows that escaped (but didnt have the new dog at this time and had no problems other than fence damage) and before that it was a hay bailing farm. Also had a walk down today and found out that the dog kennel on his farm is leased and he doesnt actually live on the farm.

You shoot them and I'll send you some mint. Give these sh*theads an inch and they'll come back and steal a mile. A 'missing' lamb or two sounds like due recompense for your trouble.

 

[Headless chicken]

Go hard and don't take any sh!t from him. Send him a bill for damages and keep with clearly outline terms. These can be as rediculous as you like as long as they're outlined in your intial statement and when he doesn't pay chase every penny. If he does it once he will do it again. He needs an attitude adjustment.

As an aside. Livestock do get out and things do happen. Decent people rectify them as quickly as safely possible and move on being decent neighbours bareing in mind one day the boot maybe on the other foot

Does he have a licence for burying hardcore?
I read on another thread that a boarding kennel has to gave a responsible adult on site 24/7.

Perspective: two of our micro-pigs got out and crossed over the road and into a neighbours garden, They were nibbling the grass a little bit, we were catering an event 30 minutes away. I was in the truck 5 minutes after the picture message came through to my phone.

I dont really want to get in to all that, I would just be happy with the sheep gone

Well it all comes around, so handle it the best you can (generally this doesn't involve 3rd parties with clipboards)
