I also hope they get caught, but they won't, it will be a backyard kill.

As the victim is a major name in the showing world, these particular sheep, esp the Heb tup, could well have been targeted.

For the sheep's and breed's sakes, I hope they've been stolen to use.

The whole thing makes me feel physically ill.  I hate the impotent feeling when you know you can't protect your stock.
