Cattle mutilations being investigated by Madison County, TX Sheriff’s Office

Texas authorities are investigating reports of cattle mutilations along State Highway Old San Antonio Road (OSR).

A recent Twitter post from the Madison County Sheriff’s Office in Madisonville, TX outlined the incidents.

"Ranchers advised a 6-year-old longhorn-cross cow had been found lying on her side, deceased, and mutilated on their ranch."

The post continued, "While looking into the longhorn-cross’ death, five other similar occurrences involving four adult cows and one yearling were reported along the area of OSR running into Brazos County as well as Robertson County. Each incident occurred in different locations, pastures, and herds."

In all of the incidents reported, "there were no signs of struggle or disturbance in the grass, no blood spill, and no noticeable tracks."

The cause of death of the cattle remains unknown.
