The sprawling 1000-acre farm, opened by Clarkson in 2020, is featured on his show Clarkson\u2019s Farm<\/a>. <\/p>\n The 66-year-old said the discovery was made this week while he was counting livestock with Clarkson\u2019s Farm co-star Kaleb Cooper.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re very good sheep. It\u2019s upset me,” the former Top Gun host told The Sun.<\/p>\n “To have animals stolen, it\u2019s really galling. They were happy here. It just feels like we\u2019re in the 17th century here\u2026\u2009sheep rustling.”<\/p>\n He believed more sheep could be missing from a field a mile away.<\/p>\n ‘It’s a farm. We’re armed. Just so they know’<\/p>\n Clarkson said the livestock may have been taken during a pause in filming for season six of Clarkson’s Farm.<\/p>\n He called on the alleged thieves to “put them back”.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s a farm. We\u2019re armed. Just so they know.<\/p>\n “It p***es me off. Honestly, it just p***es me off.”<\/p>\n The sheep were worth more than \u00a32000 ($4589) or up to \u00a38000 (NZ$18,356) if sold for their meat.<\/p>\n Thames Valley Police confirmed the incident was under investigation.<\/p>\n “The theft has occurred at some point over the last 10 days and was unwitnessed,” a spokesperson told The Sun.<\/p>\n “No arrests have been made. We would ask anybody who has information that may assist this investigation to contact Thames Valley Police.”<\/p>\n In July, Clarkson revealed on Clarkson’s Farm he had been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer<\/a>. <\/p>\n Days after the announcement, Clarkson said he was in remission<\/a>, declaring himself the “world’s luckiest man”.<\/p>\n
