Beersel (Eurotoday) – Suffolk ram weighing 80 kg, belonging to David Bonne in Dworp, Beersel, was stolen during breeding season; ram valued at €400, police warned recovery unlikely, investigation ongoing.
As Niewsblad News reported, a Suffolk ram belonging to David Bonne was stolen over the weekend. The animal had been grazing in a meadow in Dworp, part of Beersel, in the province of Flemish Brabant, Belgium, when it disappeared. David was shocked to find his prized ram missing on Monday morning, Nov 10, 2025.
“My animals graze in a remote pasture that’s practically impossible to reach by car,”
David explains.
“There were five ewes and a ram in the pasture. The ram, a beast weighing a good 80 kilograms, has now vanished without a trace. And there’s no sign of the perpetrators anywhere.”
David mentioned that the animal was not only valuable but also had a pedigree, making it important for his breeding program.
“I haven’t slept a wink since I realised it’s gone,”
he said.
“It’s awful.”
“It’s currently breeding season, and the first lambs are due in February. Unfortunately, I don’t know if there will be any more lambs.”
What happened to David Bonne’s prized Suffolk ram, stolen in Dworp?
For David Bonne, breeding sheep is more than a hobby—it is a true passion. He owns 8 ewes and 2 rams, and he carefully tends to each of them. Among his animals, the ram that was stolen was the most prized.
“It was a beautiful, large animal,”
David said.
“I don’t understand how the perpetrators were able to capture and take it. For me, as a hobby breeder, this is truly a disaster.”
“A stud like that is easily worth 400 euros,
says David.
“But it’s not about the money. I love my animals and I’m terribly sorry this happened.”
David has filed a report with the police and is cooperating fully with the authorities. David hopes anyone with information about the missing ram will come forward. The incident has had a serious impact on his small breeding operation.
“But the police officers also told me there’s little chance I’ll ever see my animal again.
The thieves may have already slaughtered the ram. It really angers me that you can’t keep animals in a quiet village like Dworp without running this risk. Also noteworthy: there’s another house across from my pasture.
There was a burglary
