Missing equipment mystery

Between 8pm on May 15 and 8am on May 16, a black tub containing calving equipment went missing from the rear of a ute, having either been taken or having fallen from the vehicle.

Police are seeking the whereabouts, or any information leading to, the location of the equipment.
