Scottish farm leaders have been left sickened by the “barbaric” professional butchering of a young sheep in a field in Ayrshire.
A farmer was left horrified after a one-year-old Texel ewe was killed in a field in Stewarton sometime between 8am on Saturday 6 February and 1pm on Tuesday 9 February.
Police believe the sheep, which weighed around 70kg and was valued at £250, was professionally butchered for its meat. They have appealed to farmers and the public for help to catch those responsible.
NFU Scotland (NFUS) said the illegal killing was “deeply distressing” and the butchers knew exactly what they were doing.

AS coronavirus restrictions rumble on, fly tipping remains a major cause of concern and anger for the rural communities of Ayrshire. In response, the Ayrshire Partnership Against Rural Crime (APARC) has brought together several key stakeholders – Police Scotland Ayrshire Division, East Ayrshire Council and South Ayrshire Council – to build solutions to tackle the problem. The local authorities and Police Scotland are coordinating their efforts to ensure that there is a prompt response, developing an intelligence picture with respect to the perpetrators of fly tipping and, where appropriate, conducting joint investigation and enforcement. The new approach has already seen several offenders traced and issued with Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) in the communities of Hurlford, Newmilns and Galston. Further areas where fly tipping and anti-social behaviour has been prevalent include the Galloway Forest Park around Loch Doon, Whitelee Wind Farm and locations around New Cumnock
