Rural crime investigators swooped on a property in July this year and seized sheep which are suspected of being stolen, subsequently charges were laid against 22- and 23-year-old men.
Senior Constable Scott Blanchard said the additional charges included the theft of 92 sheep from the Sebastopol area and four portable sheep yard panels.
They were also charged with having suspected goods in custody including two lick feeders and eight sheep who's owners haven't yet been identified.
Police have released images of eight of the 22 stolen sheep which were seized and are appealing for the farmers and graziers to look at photos in order to ascertain their owner.
Senior Constable Blanchard said if no owners were identified, they would eventually be sold by court order.
The animals are in the possession of police, who have appealed for information to identify ownership of earmarks.
Anyone who recognises the earmarks should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, Wagga rural crime investigators on 6922 2561 or email blan2bra@police.nsw.gov.au.
The men will face court in Junee on September 4.
