Investigators believe the 180 cattle, collectively, may have been stolen from several ranchers..
Investigators are working to determine if nearly 200 cattle that were reported missing southwest of Montrose were stolen.
The Montrose County Sheriff's Office said roughly 180 cattle, collectively, are not accounted for by a number of ranchers. The cattle are missing from the Uncompahgre Plateau, where they graze during the summer months.
“You can always lose some to predators, to accidents, to poisonous weeds, things like that. But the 180 is just far more than normal," said Montrose County Sheriff Chuck Searcy. “It's hard to believe that there's still 180 cattle up on the plateau, as much snow is up there as right now. And these ranchers who ride and do their due diligence to find their cattle, and they're not finding them. That leads us to believe that something nefarious has been happening to the cows.”
Searcy said livestock theft is usually minimal in Montrose County. Investigators have a large area to search for clues — an estimated 75,000 acres, according to Searcy.
“It's a large area, and it's all public land that these cattle were on. So to have an actual crime scene, if you will, we don't have one. And now a majority of that's buried in snow," Searcy explained.
Most of the 180 missing cattle are calves, Searcy said. He estimates the number of missing cattle totals to anywhere from $300,000 to $400,000.
“I estimate these calves probably between 500 and 700 pounds, depending on when they were born before they went onto the mountain and then came down," said Searcy. “It's just odd that it's just mostly calves missing. And that's, again, another red flag for us that something else is going on.”
One of the ranchers missing cattle is Mont Snyder of Mex & Sons. Snyder is missing 26 of his cattle.
“It's been looked at from the air, and they're not finding them. I flew also with a good friend of mine, and we didn't find anything," said Snyder. “We see nothing. They're gone.”
Snyder has some theories but did not expand on them at this time. The family did provide Denver7 with an image of the brand they use for cattle, in case someone sees the missing 26 head.
I admit I don’t know anything about cattle. It certainly is strange. Some serious rustling going on, by someone, for whatever reasons.
Sounds like we need a posse, ala Lonesome Dove. Find em, hang em.
How close were they to Mexico?
Damn illegals are eating better than actual citizens.
Gotta be those drones as big as school busses.

As I see it, the ‘free will’ alien proponents, the good aliens who are making their appearances now, must be distinguished from the authoritarian Reptilian aliens that are aligned with authoritarian deep state cabal governments on planet earth. The authoritarian ruling class on planet earth, along with the Reptilians back in the 50s (think Eisenhower), entered into a pact with the Reptilians wherein the Reptilians would share their other worldly technology in exchange for being allowed to experiment on humans and animals on planet earth. So, barring a human rustler situation, this appears to be another Reptilian experiment. Perhaps the authoritarian Reptilians now realize they are loosing their control over planet earth so they are snatching up as much food sources from planet earth as possible before they are forced off the planet by the good aliens. Where have all the children gone? So, there is an extraterrestrial war going on, which includes planet earth right now. I’ve been slow with this post because I’m watching NewMax out my left eye the most amazing Trump presser ever. He has been goin for more than an hour now. Yes, ‘drones’ were discussed.
ALIENS ,,,,,,,,,
Are their many Muslims in that area?
Are you kidding me? The country is blanketed with UFOs, and now cows go missing in Colorado? This is literally the exact plot of the pilot episode of South Park. Is there any fat kid who shoots flames out of his butt when he farts?
Don’t give it another thought...
Biden and crew lost and can’t account for 400,000 children that came across the border?
They stole just calves out of a herd?
