Please share, our 3 black long legged dexters comprising of cow with steer calf at foot and her yearling heifer were stolen from our smallholding in Fawkham Kent. On 28th night to early 29th/10 , the theives drove across a field of sheep to a barn the cows were housed in. They put their halters on and loaded them into a waiting vehicle.

So sorry to hear about this, you must be so upset.
I have seen pics of these on facebook, it might be an idea to put their pics on here as well.
Good luck, I hope they are found soon!

Thank you. We have only had them a few months, but already have become very attached to them.

Ask local pubs if they have been offered any beef recently my husband saw signs of a sheep being gutted and skinned but no carcass .

I think you're right, sadly, but on the off chance that I'm wrong, could you give us the eartag numbers to look out for please?
