A farm in south Oxfordshire has closed to the public after two of its sheep were killed and another 'very seriously injured' in dog attacks.

Bishop's Court Farm in Dorchester, near Wallingford, made the announcement on social media on Wednesday (October 9).

"Sadly, in the last week, two of our sheep have been killed and a ram very seriously injured in dog attacks," a statement from the farm read.

The farm said in the past it has 'chosen to overlook isolated incidents', however it now feels it 'has no choice' but to close all areas of the farm that are not public footpaths 'until further notice' due to the incidents.

It added that there will be an 'increase in security' on the farm with cameras installed in some of the fields. 

"This decision has not been taken lightly as we have always welcomed walkers and well-behaved dogs to the farm and have enjoyed opening it up to the public, but the safety of our animals must come first," the statement concluded.
