Galloway Road sells for $665k

was when bringing sheep in for shearing that the farmer noticed lesser numbers.

Police said the missing Merino sheep are valued at approximately $139,000 and were in full wool at the time of the theft.

“Investigators believe that the stock may have been transported interstate,” they said last Thursday.

“To transport such a large number of livestock, investigators believe the offenders would have needed to use at least two fourdecker trucks if the thefts occurred on one occasion.

“It is thought that the offenders would have also needed to utilise a significant amount of portable fencing, as well as sheep dogs to round up the livestock.

“Police were notified as soon as the missing sheep were noticed.”

Leading Senior Constable O’Bree estimated that less than half of livestock thefts were being reported to police.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

After initial offers, two potential buyers vied for the winning bid and the property was sold.

The farm includes a threestand shearing shed, sheep yards and spray dip, two machinery sheds and a raised barn.

Mr Nevins said the property was an excellent grazing and cropping allotment.
