REGINA -- A macabre mystery that pops up around the world has surfaced once again on a secluded Saskatchewan farm.
The most recent case of cattle mutilation occurred in the Stockholm area, just yards away from where Heather Harris and her husband slept. Harris was out tending the cattle the next day when she made the grisly discovery.
"It's hard to describe what she looked like ...," Harris said, recalling finding the cow's corpse. "I told my husband, 'You don't even want to see this.' "
The pregnant cow was missing its rectum, female organs, udder, navel, top and bottom lips, one ear and one eye. The animal's tongue appeared to be cut out.
Harris said there was no sign of blood in the area, and all of the injuries appear to be precise incisions. Harris said there were no signs of struggle in the area, and no tire tracks, footprints or blood anywhere around the animal......

Sounds like some military biological research group has a new brew being tested.
Where’s Mulder and Scully when you need them?
There’s blod all over the photo but the article says there were no signs of blood around the animal...
Same old junk. Either kids pranking, or wannabee Pagans. Lateedaaa...

Coyotes always start with with soft parts, always eating out the anus, and they can be very surgical. Birds love eyes and anything soft. I've seen it a dozen times. Only people that don't see scavengers at work are surprised.
OK Sample, but some folks I see here in the office are scavengers, though of a different sort.
Barbaric and evil!
I'd still guard your privates if I were you.
Sharp teath and disimilar tissue result in what most people think is a neat cut, and animals that have been dead awhile don't bleed much if at all.
I think the vet needs to run some tests and see what the cow died from before they worry about aliens or witch craft. There may be an epidemic or bad feed or something.
Yep, when you see a carcass’ chest/belly moving it’s almost guaranteed that a opossum or the like have crawled in the back door to get at all the soft innards. You can really surprise someone by giving it a kick and having a bloody critter come flying out and scurry away.
“Bring me a live cow over to the table! I’ll carve off what I want and RIDE THE REST HOME!”
Yea. That works too.
If the cow was sick and no one knew it. It could have died on the spot and had all the soft stuff eaten off.
I’ve read a number of times where these “precision cuts” usually end up being anything but precision. Ants or whatever. I saw a time laps where on cows belly swole up and split. It looked like a clean cut too to the casual observer.
My famiily ranches in SE Colorado (near Trinidad) and has had several experiences comparable with this Canadian experience.
I can clearly remember when I was about 12 years old (mid 70’s) coming home from school and running down to our silage pit (located about 2 miles from the house) to observe a dead dairy heifer sprawled out at the entranceway to the pit.
It was during the fall as we were cutting corn silage and my father would pack the pit in the early morning prior to the day’s cutting. For a period of about one week before the occurrence, two dairy heifers from the neighbor’s were out and on the road.
Well, this particular morning he arrived at the pit (arrival road to the pit was 90 degree angle) and came upon one of the two heifers that refused to move when he approached. He got out of his pickup to shoo the heifer (who, appeared to him in a trance like state) and immediately saw her cohort dead in the middle of the pit.
He immediately called the sheriff and a veterinarian. To make a long story short, the animal was mutilated in a manner similar (removed teats, tongue, ear, vulva, and a strip of hide along her face) as described in the present thread. We dragged her body to our “dead pile” and it seemed for a period of time afterwards that the crows and other vermin would not touch her decomposing carcass????
There were similar incidents during this time throughout our region (my folks have pics taken by them and our neighbors) and many folks reported “helicopters” with multi-colored lights. Many theories were floated during this period of time.... aliens, devil worship, etc.). Many posters have already pointed out that varmints are responsible and I would concur in many cases but there are those isolated few where the kill is discovered almost immediately after death. Many posters have already indicated that coyotes go for the tender, accessible parts of an animal and that is correct. What I am saying is that people like my folks who ranch full time and others who are frequently around cattle are able to “sense” something normal vs abnormal.
I am a Beef professor (yes I am a conservative but losing faith in the party) at a major land grant university for the past 19 years. With that said, I am around bovines on an almost daily basis. The pic attached to this site appears to be a pic of an animal that has been dead for 5+ days?
If I would put a tin foil hat on for one second, I would point a finger at the US govt. What is interesting is this. During this time (mid 70’s) the US military (army) was engaged in the taking (imminent domain) of about 220,000 acres for the soon to be named Pinon Canyon Manuever Site for Fort Carson in Colorado Springs from several of our immediate neighbors.
Coincidentally, at the present time the US military believes they need to enlarge this manuever site by another 400,000 plus acres. This time, thanks to better organization and the electronic information age, we are giving the DOD a good fight. Check out http://www.pinoncanyon.com/. The DOD has gone on the record that they will require another 5 MILLION acres in 5 years to meet what they say are increasing needs to achieve troop training.
At this rate, we won’t need to worry about these so called “mutiliations” to our cattle as there won’t be any around to bother with.
Best to all,
MFO
I’d say wannabe pagans... somehow I don’t see kids managing to kill a cow so easily, unless of course it was already dead.
