NSW Police are investigating the theft of almost 150 sheep from a rural property in the Snowy Monaro.
The Rural Crime Prevention Team said 95 merino ewes and 50 first cross lambs were stolen from a property on Middlingbank Road in Berridale, which is west of Cooma, between April and August 2021.
The team said the ewes were of a mixed age with full coat of wool – they were due to be shorn in August – and are due to give birth in October.
All of the sheep are earmarked with two notches on the back of an ear and at the time had tags with a mix of the following numbers: NF150974 and NC151867 for the ewes or ND152319 for the lambs.
