The losses to Mr Handleys flock are estimated to be around the sum of £10,000
A young farmer has spoken of his devestation after being the latest victim of a dog attack on his flock.
33 of the lambs in his flock of 56 were killed by two dogs.
Thomas Hadley received the bad news via telephone on Friday to say two dogs were attacking his sheep in Risbury, Leominster.
Mr Hadley, 23, said when he arrived the field was "scattered" with dead and injured lambs and the dogs were still attacking other sheep.
"I haven't slept at all," he said. "We are still missing 11 lambs and these could be fatally injured lying somewhere and we have searched a two-mile radius of this place and haven't found them."
Mr Hadley estimates the cost of the attack at Ā£10,000.
Police sent armed officers and seized the dogs, and a 64-year-old man has been arrested and bailed.
The man, from Leominster, has been bailed until October on suspicion of allowing a dog to be out of control and allowing a dog to kill or maim livestock.
A police spokesman said the firearms officers were deployed as a "matter of precaution".
West Mercia Police said āa proactive investigationā involving specialist resources is now under way.
