“property destruction” is a stretch.

An experienced livestock seller estimated each of the bleached animals was worth $500 to $700 less per head. He said after checking with buyers, the cattle that would’ve been worth about $2,600 per head was instead worth about $1,850.

Multiply times 195 head, and you have a serious loss of property value. That said, the rancher was lucky the property owner didn't decide to make the world's biggest bowl of chili when the cattle go on his land.

I call bullshit, literally, on the marking of cull cows costing sale money at a market. Farmers aren’t woke or stupid. Marking bleach on a bull might reduce value cosmetically, but farmers aren’t like to sell pregnant cows or bulls for meat.
A marked cow, steer, or bull would be labeled as a Trespasser.

Colorado is a “fence out” state. If you’re not welcoming your neighbor’s animals, you fence them out.

There was no loss of meat.

Bleach “FJB” on a bull.
