John Heard decided desperate measures were needed to stop the raids that were decimating his flocks.
And his solution to the problem has created an eye-catching sensation on his farm after he turned his sheep orange
The 48-year-old has put his flock of 250 blackface ewes through a harmless dip of orange dye making them so highly visible wary thieves are giving them a wide berth.
Mr Heard, who runs his livestock farm near Okehampton, Devon had lost 200 sheep over the past few years but says the orange dye is working wonders.
