John Gunne from Milltown, Belturbet, Co. Cavan is appealing for any information that may lead to the safe recovery of 28 of his sheep.

The sheep disappeared of his lands at Killicar, Milltown, Belturbet, Co. Cavan between 6 August and 19 August.

The 28 full-mouthed ewes were a mixture of breeds including Texel, Sufflolk, Hilltex and some crossbred.

“They just seem to have disappeared without a trace” John Gunne said. “We got a drone in to fly the area to see if they would have wandered into local forests but nothing showed up.

“No neighbours saw any suspicious activity but at this stage I think they were stolen.

“The ewes were all marked with red or blue marks on their necks.
