An example of how the cows are freeze branded.
AN APPEAL has been launched following the theft of several heavily pregnant cows in Hope.
Online Watch Link (OWL) said eight black and white Holstein heifer cows, close to calving - two of which are said to be due this week- were stolen on sometime late on Monday (September 2) night time, or in the early hours of Tuesday.
The theft was from a farm on Hope Mountain, OWL said.
OWL said the cows are all freeze branded with the last three digits of their ear-tag.
The the freeze brand numbers of the heifers stolen are as follows; 452, 791, 911, 924, 927, 949, 958 and 965.
The vehicle used to remove the cows is believed to be a wagon.
