(Finn) So, you're missing four sheep?
(Kate) Three ewes, one ram.
I've photos, if that helps?

Of your sheep?
(Kate) They're therapy animals.

(birds chirping) It's a big problem.
Livestock, tractors, quad bikes.
Farmers lose thousands.
(Leila) And what percentage chance is there that these sheep aren't in the big barn in the sky?
(Finn) Well, they're not quiet.
You can't put them under the bed.
They're not tagged, which is good for the thieves.
Another farmer could put them out to graze, you wouldn't even know they were stolen.

(Leila) No, as if!
Just went to my Auntie Anita's, two streets down.
