[QUOTE="Fallowfield, post: 5100142, member: 88590"] Experience of livestock (mostly cattle, some sheep) about 12 months farm work. Experience of predation by ravens nil. Experience of ravens, see them every day. Experience of farmers, extensive. Will ravens scavenge dead lambs? No doubt. Will ravens attack sickly lambs? Almost certainly. Will ravens attack healthy lambs with a healthy mother? Perhaps, but not nearly as often as claimed. Will farmers exaggerate losses due to raven predation? Without a shadow of a doubt. Would serious predation by ravens, if proved, justify a cull? Not necessarily. Taken in the round, with the overall adverse impact upland sheep farming has on the environment, it might be better to move sheep production to more suitable areas. [/QUOTE]
