Eight cattle were taken from a shed on the farmer’s outfarm in Edenaneane between 5.30pm on Friday 11 September and 10am on Saturday 12 September. It is understood that Carrickmacross gardaí are investigating the crime.
This particular crime is unusual as the cattle were stolen from a shed. It is also remarkable that the animals involved are of a distinctive breed.
In 2014, a total of 146 cattle were reported stolen from Irish farms, with 48% of all thefts occurring in counties along the border with Northern Ireland. This was down significantly on 2013 figures, when a total of 298 cattle were reported stolen from farms in the Republic.
