I dont believe it! I never thought I would see the day people stealing primative sheep, its dispicable and I hope they get caught. :rant: I will keep a lookout.
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

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.
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing
