A farmer in County Kilkenny is searching for 15 sheep from his flock who went missing from a hill in Inistioge.

Agriliand are reporting that James Doyle, a farmer with cattle, dairy, and sheep has a flock of 72 sheep, but that 15 were "stolen" on July 29.

"I have seen where the sheep broke out, they obviously broke out into a neighbours field. Wherever they went after that, they must have been picked up and stolen," he told the publication.
