The udders appeared to have been removed with precision — straight, even cuts, as if made by a sharp object.
The reproductive systems had been cut out cleanly as well, and without disturbing other organs.
There was no indication of predator activity and perhaps strangest of all, scavenging animals appeared to have hardly touched these six cow carcasses found in a seven-day span this year on ranchland in rural Crook County.
But the mutilated cattle might be more ordinary than they seem, according to Brian Dunning, a Bend-based podcaster committed to deflating wild claims.
“This reads like a very typical case,” he said.
Crook County Sheriff John Gautney said his office has no leads but cautioned there’s “no reason to panic.”
“We’ve had cases like this over the years,” Gautney said. “They seem to come in groups and then go away."
The current string of cases began Feb. 27...
Charges in any of the cases could include trespassing and aggravated animal abuse. With the cattle valued at $1,250 to $1,400 each, criminal mischief might also be charged.

In the 1970’s, while I was in Montana in the USAF, several cattle had their rectums removed. The standard joke blamed demoncrats...They were looking for new a$$holes to run for office.
The cows are acting out due to their psychological trauma living in a state so packed with progressive lunatics.
Sounds like Far Side cartoon.
I'm a teetotaller but I believe you are onto something. Many imbibables become more popular with booze added.
And I'm from Michigan where we insist all of our soft drinks be called "pop" and never "soda." That giveaway word reveals a probable secret New York invader. Our "soda" has ice cream added to the pop.
Precisely. I can't imagine going out to the pasture and finding something like this. Very disturbing. I certainly hope the perps are caught so as to lessen the chances of copy cats.
Last year, the FBI in Oregon started receiving questions about cattle mutilations in Central and Eastern Oregon, according to Beth Anne Steele, spokesperson for the FBI Portland office. But despite sporadic media inquiries, the office does not have a current role in the cattle mutilation investigations, Steele wrote to The Bulletin.

The FBI is on it. I feel so much better knowing that.
Scully and Muldur on the job.
RE: Filmmaker Linda Moulton Howe....
Wow. I had no idea of all that background information. I’ve seen her on dvds a number of times. Always calm and backed by her detailed research. Interesting stuff.
Opossum’s got some mighty sharp teeth. A friend of mine claims to have walked up on a dead cow many years ago and was nearly frightened to death when a ‘possum crawled out the dead cow’s alimentary canal...
The bigger question is, did they take the Tenderloins? That would show signs of intelligence.
Well, at least we're not up to "sh&tload" yet!
Tine to call in Captain Frank Bach and Majestic 12 to investigate.
Not if they’re making sausage, or some kind of menudo type dish?
“...read it to the end it’s very interesting. Hard to believe at first but there really is a very compelling natural explanation.”

I read to the end... and you’re right. PARTY POOPER!
End of article suggest.......
One possible explanation is these were, in fact, natural deaths
Podcast host Dunning’s long-running show Skeptoid devoted an episode to debunking cattle mutilation in 2015. Dunning, who read the 28-page search warrant request, called the recent Crook County case typical of numerous accounts often attributed to aliens or satanic rituals.
“This is almost certainly the same kind of bird predation we’ve seen in so many similar cases,” he wrote to The Bulletin. “In my opinion, there is nothing here that suggests anything but normal and expected bird predation had occurred, and ... no justification for a search warrant to seek out an apocryphal human responsible for the wounds.”
It’s either drones or bio medical research guys.
