Owners fear rare lamb worth up to $25k stolen

Key points

• A rare Swiss Valais Blacknose lamb, reportedly worth up to $25,000, has gone missing from an Adelaide Hills property. Its owners, vet Madeleine Babos and partner Alasdair Rodgers, are appealing to the community to watch for the distinctive animal.
• Ms Babos said the ewe was born last week and vanished days later, during the afternoon.
• She suspected a predator was unlikely, given the mother's behaviour and other lambs in the paddock, and said livestock theft is common, according to police.
