Fiarmer’s disasters ends in court


A TRIPLE prize-winning livestock fanner failed to dispose of 67 sheep carcasses after a “catalogue of dis­ asters”, a court heard. . Stephen Peel, who won prizes at


the Royal Lancashire Show in 2006, including Breed Supreme Champion, Reserve Overall Cham­ pion and Best Show Champion for the best small flock, appeared at Hyndburn Magistrates last Wednesday. Peel (54), of .Brookhouse Green


Farm, Dale Head, Slaidburn, pleaded guilty after being prose­ cuted under trading standards


laws. M ag is tra te s heard how ill-


health, a rise in farm prices and d r- cumstMces beyond his control led


to this neglect. In February of this year, officers


discovered the bodies of 67 dead


sheep in various stages of decay, on a section of Peel’s 100-acre land. Mr Nick McNamara (prosecut­


ing) said: “After the discovery of : illness, had prevented him from dis-


interviewed and admitted the sheepwSe his. He told the officers that the farm had been experienc­ ing financial difficulties towards the end of 2007. This, coupled with


poangthem.” : •• The Animal By-Product Regu-


' ' lations 2005 requires farmers to dis- pose of fallen livestock without


: undue delay. , - : - Failure to dispose promptly of ' carcasses risks the spread of disease


. to other animals and can lead to ■ contamination of surroimding land


and watercourses. Mr John Houldsworth (defend­


ing) explained that sheep prices had taken a tumble last year and that had affected his business and triggered depression. He added that in Christmas last year, Mr Peel had developed flu, as did his wife and 13-year-old daughter.


In a double whammy, his daugh­


ter had woken one morning unable to move one side of her body. “While she was at hospital


undergoing tests for a suspected brain tumour, Mr Peel was divert­ ed from his farm duties,” revealed Mr Houldsworth; “His sheep spent all -winter out­


side and unbeknown to him, he Imd a problem with his flock. Last hut not least, Mr Peel’s quad bike had broken down and he was not able to check on all animals as usual and he has no farm help.” The cause of deaths were


unknovyn, but a second flock had been unaffected. Mr Houldsworth went on to


say: “This is a very sad day for Mr Peel. He has been a farmer all his life and has an excellent track record. It seems a catalogue of dis­ asters caused by farm prices, ill health and circumstances beyond his control led to this blip. Ma^trates ordered Peel to pay a fine of £300 and £385 court


costs. Speaking after the case, Mr


McNamara, said: “Failing to dis­ pose of dead livestock can have


serious consequences, both for farmers and the environment. “Offences can lead to unlimited


fines or a long jail term, so it is •vital that farmers identify carcass­


es and properly dispose of them without delay.”
