We figured when we heard about these calves being stolen earlier this week that they were taken right down to the sale in Central Bridge and were long gone.
However, the nefarious, nasty, mean, dirty, rotten sons of guns that rustled them at least took milk replacer to feed them too.
So maybe they can be found, although probably not.
If you hear, or see, or know anything about this lousy crime, please contact the authorities.
Things are getting pretty bad when somebody cuts a gate to steal little baby calves from a farmer.
Things have gotten bad indeed.
ReplyDeleteAround here w/ desert ranches, rustlers pull up, shoot a cow (if it is lucky), haul out chainsaws, & butcher it right there. Take just the prime cuts and gone. 10 minutes tops. No chance of catching them.
ReplyDeleteRev. Paul, never seen anything like it. There have been crimes against farmers before of course, but this has been quite a spate.
ReplyDeleteJoe in Reno, wow, I really hope that doesn't start happening around here. Stealing dairy calves is bad enough. We have had to start locking and chaining stuff up that we never did before. Not nice!
