Good evening all,
We have just had four of our sheep stolen from my dads farm near Rugby, Warwickshire. The stolen sheep are all ewe lambs - two Coloured Ryelands and two Jacobs. If anyone spots any somewhere that weren't there before or heard of them for sale I'd be grateful if you could let me know. They cannot be sold as pedigree as no paperwork and breed societies are aware.
More detail and pictures can be found on our Facebook page - Wandering Goose Farm.
Thanks for reading, any information very gratefully received.

So sorry to hear about this, there are just some very wicked people around. I hope they are found soon!! I will post to FB and groups I am on and twitter too.

Good luck. I do hope they are found.

I do hope they are found safe and sound and returned quickly to you.

shared on facebook in Warks area - so sorry your sheep look wonderful

That's very bad luck and also, I think, quite unusual. Sheep stealing is generally confined to commercial breeds that are going to end up as smokies. I suggest spreading the word on as many farming forums as you can - such distinctive sheep stand a chance of being spotted.

Unfortunately due to the movement regs and low value of sheep, when small numbers are taken, its 7/10 of the time for meat - larger numbers (20+) tend to be alive to be sold on.
