Ralph the lamb found alive and well

Ralph the lamb has been found by road workers 8km from where thieves earlier stole him from the Big Goose farm on the Mornington Peninsula.

Ralph the lamb has been reunited with his friends at the Big Goose farm after thieves made off with him almost a fortnight ago.

Big Goose spokeswoman Jo Barden says the weeks-old lamb seems to be in good health but a vet will examine him on Friday afternoon.

A 21-year-old Moorooduc man was charged with animal cruelty, handling stolen goods and theft earlier this week but little Ralph remained missing.

Two other people were arrested and later released without charge.

Owners of the Big Goose said Ralph was featured in a Facebook naming competition but they did not know whether the theft was related.

Ralph was found on the side of the road in Tyabb after Nigel the road worker recognised the wayward lamb.
