Eight cattle have been stolen from land at Knockbridge.
The incident happened at Allardstown yesterday, with the theft estimated to have cost the affected farmer around €12,000.
This is one of a number of such incidents in the area this year and following the latest theft, Louth IFA chairman Matthew McGreehan made a call on LMFM radio for greater sanctions to be imposed on anyone caught stealing livestock.
He also said anyone caught tampering with cattle ID tags must also face harsher penalties.
