We've got a prat similar around here . I'd keep the tag record and chase back out onto road / wherever !! They are NOT your prob to house and home ......... And the B'steward ain't checking them , or would have come looking !!

If you phone trading standards and give them the tag details, they will phone the animal owner and inform them, not allowed to tell you due to data protection or some rubbish.

If your backing on to a place of common grazing, it might be up to you to keep the boundary stock proof sorry, ie keeping stock out . [emoji53].

But if its a neighbours field then they would be liable for keeping stock in.

Had a friend with a similar situation,Trading Standards were not at all helpful.
He phoned the tag manufacturer who then in turn contacted the owner of the sheep

We rang Animal Health after a similar problem, the owner contacted us the same day. The sheep had escaped from a field several miles away and the owner was over an hours drive away.

We had a couple of loose sheep wander up our drive one day when the gate had been left open. We got them into a handling area to try and read their tags but they both jumped out and went wandering about the place. Rang the neighbours, the sheep weren't theirs but they had seen them on the road that morning and thought they belonged to someone renting a field down the road. Their advice was to let them out onto the road and the owner would see them when he did his rounds later on. Twenty minutes later we got them out and they continued walking up and down the road. A few minutes later there was a screech of brakes followed by a bang. The wandering sheep were fine, but someone tanking down the road had swerved and driven into the bank. I was told to keep my effing sheep off the road, he wanted details for insurance etc. Not my sheep mate I told him and he drove off cursing all farmers. Later that day a neighbour knocked on the door "hope you don't mind, you had some sheep got out, I've let them into your field, is that OK ?" Smile through gritted teeth, wait until he'd gone and chased them out of the field again.
