ATTN: SW Des and Eastern Nevada hunters!

Post by The Ox » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:53 pm

There is a $13,000 reward (the amount continues to grow as more ranchers are being victimized) being offered by Ranchers for information that leads to the arrest of the individuals responsible for cattle rustling in the areas of the SW Desert unit from Milford to Modena and across the Nevada border to the DelMue Ranch. These individuals have cut fences, vandalized property, and stolen cattle. Our Ranch has had over $20,000 in cattle alone stolen. As well as us there are at least 5 other ranchers victimized by these criminals.
Any suspicious behavior should be reported to the Iron County, or the Beaver County Sheriffs offices. Anything suspicious from last summer til current day should be reported.
Thank you!

Do you know if any of these cattle are branded?

If so could you post a picture of the brands?
Live to hunt, hunt to live.

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell
the difference.

yes as far as i know all the other ranchers are branded and marked well. our cattle are branded, earmarked, ear tagged. the bulls have 2 brands are not earmarked, are ear tagged and also have trich tags.

Brett it really would be easy to go undetected if you did it on a moonlight night. a couple 4 wheelers or horses and a make shift corral made out of portable panels could yield a decent haul. all under the cover of darkness. also the area is huge and pretty desolate. not to mention ranchers always moving cattle around so to the average person it could just look like the rancher is working the cows not rustlers.
