The sheep had distinctive green spray marks between their shoulders and red or purple marks on their backs.
Extensive searches have been carried out with no trace, leading officers to believe they have been stolen.
Pc Rick Henderson said: “We’re keen to speak with anyone who witnessed the theft, or saw any suspicious activity in the area. We’re also interested in speaking with anyone who believes they may have been offered the sale of these sheep recently.”
