Date with Danger by Julia Chapman

This is the fifth book in the Dales Detective Agency series.  

Samson and Delilah are called in to help investigate when there is a fatal accident at the local livestock auction.  Ron would have known better than to stay in the pen with agitated animals and one of the angry bullocks is later found to have a knife injury.  

There is a spate of sheep thefts in the area which is believed to be by a professional gang of rustlers.  Farmer Clive Knowles manages to disturb them when they are on his land and gets a look at some of the unusual gear they are using.  

With the help of some papers Ron has been collating, Samson and Delilah find a link between the sheep thefts and the recent activity at the auction.  And with the additional information provided by Clive Knowles they are able to come up with a plan to hopefully safeguard some of the local sheep.
