The Sheep Rustlers are a trio of characters appearing in the Saturday Supercade episode "Sheep Rustle Hustle." They consist of a burly leader, Jake, a slim member, and Bowl, a short member. They are despised for persistently stealing and smuggling sheep, and will go to great heights to do so, even if it means capturing those who attempt to meddle with them. They constantly speak with a stereotypical wild western accent.
They first appear at Biff's ranch to steal his sheep, along with King when he tries to stop them. Biff gives chase, and is assisted by Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones. Bones attempts to fall into their cargo truck, but is spotted. They also capture Biff when he and Donkey Kong Jr. try to assist, though Bones is freed in the process.
While they are mulling over how much money they would make from the sheep, Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones manage to trick two of them into entering the saloon, where they are haunted. This strategy, however, also fails, and though Donkey Kong Jr. is able to steal the jail key, they are caught by the third member, who locks them up.
The group then loads the sheep onto a cargo train to escape; however, Donkey Kong Jr. manages to lasso the train's smokestack and use the water from a water tower to wash out the Rustlers before they can get too far, while Bones and Biff tie them up. It is unknown what happens to the Rustlers after that, though presumably they are locked up in the same jail where they locked up the protagonists earlier.
