Authorities hunt for 14 head of cattle presumed stolen in northern Colorado
More than a dozen head of cattle have been reported missing, presumed to be stolen from ranchland in northern Colorado.
According to a December 9 press release from the Weld County Sheriff’s Office, a total of 14 Black Angus cows are missing across multiple herds that roam northeast of Greeley. It’s believed the cattle went missing around early October, though there’s some variance in the exact timelines. The cows belong to three separate herds, each grazing in different areas and last seen together on different dates.
Authorities are seeking tips from the public in the case, releasing images of the brands that mark cattle from each herd (seen in the feature image of this article).
Anyone with information in the case has been asked to contact the Weld County Sheriff’s Office at 970-356-4015.
