Some People Will Steal Anything That's Not Nailed Down

And it's pretty hard to nail this stuff down I can tell you...

Dumfries and Galloway police are warning the farming community to be on the alert following the theft of around £12,000 worth of bull semen from the Galloway farm of Holstein breeder Paul Rawcliffe at Bryekirk, Annan.

The 400-odd straws from various bulls including Toystory, Rudolph, Storm, Goldwyn and Jordan, were in a flask taken from an outbuilding at the farm some time between November 2 and 6.

Annan CID’s DC Gordon Orr said it appeared the flask had been specifically targeted.
