Terrible thing to happen!

But, if they went missing between 10th - 13th May, they cant have been checked very regularly????

it would have taken time and it should have been spotted. i used to live just up the road and its a busy road. thats a lot of dead sheep to cope with.

what other reason is there for nicking them. you can't just flog that many animals. lots of paper chasing. edenfield is pretty closr to manchester. think pf all the re eartagging and fake histories. no they are meat or soon will be.
