Two children have been left "heartbroken" after their pet rare breed sheep were stolen over New Year's.

The Valais Blacknose wethers, Teddy and Bear, were taken from a farm on the Powys-Herefordshire border.

Nia Lloyd said on Twitter: "Please find my missing teddy and bear. Stolen on New Year’s Eve."

She added: "I have two heartbroken children that have had these two from lambs."

County Times:

Dyfed-Powys Police are appealing for information about the whereabouts of the rare Swiss sheep.

Teddy and Bear were stolen from a farm in the Newchurch and Painscastle area between Tuesday, December 31, and Wednesday, January 1.

The family said on Facebook that the "very distinctive" sheep come from the first UK flock of Valais Blacknose.
