According to the owner, all but three of the sheep have died in the suspected attack. Of the herd of 47 sheep, eleven were found alive, but eight of them were in such poor condition that they had to be put down.

The gruesome discovery was made on Friday evening when the owners went to check on the sheep.

There were dead sheep everywhere. Absolutely horrific. It's not just that they're dead, but they're badly mangled, says animal owner Annelie Näsström to VLT.

Wildlife managers from the county administrative board have been on site and documented the injuries.

A suspected wolf attack has been reported and is being investigated, says the county administrative board's wildlife manager Nathalie Kindbladh to SVT Västmanland.
