Farmer on Longford / Westmeath border in appeal to help find missing bullock

A farmer in the Clonca, Tinode area of the parish of Streete along the Westmeath and Longford border is appealing to his neighbouring farmers to check their fields and herd to see if they have one animal too many.

The farmer reports that a black and white Friesian, Simmental breed bullock, which has short horns has gone missing and was last seen about a month ago.

The animal may have strayed to another farm and the farmer would like to rule out the possibility that the bullock has been stolen.

The owner fears that the bullock may have got out of its field and been driven along the road by traffic as animals would normally return to a herd.
