Tivyside Advertiser:

This incident comes just a month after another Carmarthenshire farm reported a herd of cows being taken.

The force said that 26 Freisian cows were reported stolen from a field in Golden Grove, Carmarthen between 5pm on Friday, April 21 and Sunday, April 23.

It is believed the cows were taken via lorry as cow muck was found along the track leading to the road, but there was no muck on the road.

The police said there were no witnesses and have currently closed the investigation as all possible lines of enquiry have been completed.

It will be reopened if new information comes to light.

Any information relating to either incident should be reported to Dyfed-Powys Police through 101 or via Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
