IT is hard to think of sheep rustlers in the modern age however that is just what the police may be looking for.
Queensland police media are reporting that between 11 October last year and 3 May this year, a large number of sheep have gone missing from a rural farm property at Pikedale, west of Stanthorpe.
The sheep are described as mixed age, creme coloured Merino ewes. The missing sheep had NLIS tags QGAA0091 fitted to their ears, a registered earmark out of the top of their ear and a paint brand “Y” on their backs.
