It comes after 132 Merino ewes, heavy in lamb, were reported stolen from the property Trevanna on the Inverell Road at Ashford.
The latest missing sheep are ewes, predominately two-teeth, in full wool; they were due to be shorn in two weeks.
They are station-bred and do not have ear tags, but some have a double horn earmark.
Most of the ewes still have their tails.
Investigators are keen to speak to anyone with information on the missing sheep or suspicious activity on or around the property.
People are also urged to promptly report any stock theft, even small numbers.
