I wonder if thats more of an insurance thing? Like the farmer would claim and the insurance company goes after the dog owner for the money

A £900 fine? He didn’t even have to compensate the farmer?

(22 + 48) * 250 = £17500 ($22,091) is roughly the cost of the sheep, that's not calculating time/food cost put into the flock already, some were pregnant. Likely a total loss for the farmer, dog owner is a scumbag, ban bully breeds IMO.

The article states £14000
Generally those kind of valuations are calculated on cost of 1:1 replacement.
