Sheep farmer Tom Barry told the Irish Farmers Journal that animals were stolen from hill fields on his farm near Clogheen, Co Tipperary in mid-September.
Checks so far have revealed 19 sheep are missing. "They are Texel cross and Scotch Blackface, between one and a half and three years old," he said.
This is a new blow after a previous theft of sheep from the farm several years ago. "They were never found," Tom said.
