I have lost about 15 lambs.  A coyote might account for a couple of those.
There is no way I can look at around 200 lambs and tell that one is missing.
I believe they are being stolen late at night roughly once a month.

Mark,

Holy cow...that's awful and it would be so easy for someone to make off with

one or two and it would be hard to notice.

We have watch dogs on all sides of the sheep, plus motion detector lights 
and elec fencing.  In your case I would ad  video cameras if possible.

Happy New Year to you, too.
