Another case of sheep theft has occurred in Manitoba again at a sheep ranch
southwest of Winnipeg. This time thieves made off with 572 head during the
August long weekend from the same St. Claude, MB flock
that was hit with losses last year. RCMP and CFIA have been notified but to date
little support has been received.
Rustlers made off with 1,200 sheep from a night corral on the Norman Goulet
Ranch early last September, 2005 of which none were ever recovered.
Producers are encouraged to keep aware of sheep that come into the marketplace
from sources that are not known to have been involved in sheep production.
Anyone with information or ideas as to where these sheep might be are encouraged
to call the RCMP or the Canadian Sheep Federation at
519.824.6018
