‘We are so upset because he has been in our family for years. We have had him since he was a baby as my uncle bred him.’

Larry was last seen around 4pm on Wednesday evening last week.

The family own another sheep called Winston and a group of baby goats at the holding, that they have for 20 years, but moved them elsewhere after Larry was taken.
