A flock of 20 ewes and 20 lambs vanished in July
Police have launched an appeal to find 40 sheep worth about £5,400 after they were stolen from a farm.
The flock, including 20 lambs and 20 ewes, were taken from a farm in Fossoway near Kinross, Perth and Kinross.
They vanished between July 8 and 31, but police were only informed on August 26 after attempts were made to find them amid concerns they may have wandered off.
