Well It seems like it's popular ATM too steal sheep :-( went down today 2 wethers that were booked in for the butcher on Wednesday and 2 ewes in lamb gone! I found the tags they had cut out by my gateway gate still padlocked.....reported to police but as with others can't prove it if you do find them.

Sorry to hear that. It is becoming a common theme alas.

how do you think they caught them?

and can I ask whereabouts are you?

[Azzdodd]

I'm in north wales not sure how they caught them as they didn't take them all. Properly with ewe nuts then grabbed them :-/

[shygirl]

thats so awful, horrible barstewards.

[mab]

Humm, yes - now that I've got mine bucket trained I can see that might work.

[Azzdodd]

Worse with such a small flock. Proberly hanging by there feet in a illegal food chain by now

[verdifish]

When reporting stolen stock can we please all remember to post the location so everyone is aware where this is happening !!! Feel for you loosing any sheep is hard but so close to laming time is just horible !

[Alicenz]

Im so sorry to hear that, poor sheep, poor you, horrible horrible thing.  These people make me furious.  Here they were taking substantial flocks recently, they do it with dogs and also with the electric fence netting -  group of people walk behind the sheep herding them in holding the net. Sick.

I've set up a wildlife camera there this morning catch the buggers next time! Spoke to the farmer who rents the field across the road he has lambs in there on turnips he says he think he may have had a few taken....

So sorry to hear that Azzdodd, you must be gutted  

[Bramblecot]

I am sorry.  Mine were definiately taken using the corral method with electirc fencing - I wish they'd just taken the ruddy fence .

[Mammyshaz]

Awful to hear this 

[Marches Farmer]

I wonder if setting up fake security cameras in obvious places might help?

[Azzdodd]

I have wildlife cameras set up there now which take picture with movement. Nothing but birds so far haha! Just a question if the people who stole them re tagged them could they just go into a licensed slaughter house? Id rather that to be honest.....

[Blinkers]

Can't believe how often this is happening now      Such a worry for everyone especially those that have bucket trained sheep
