MISSOULA, Mont. | A strangely mutilated cow found dead southwest of Polson, Mont., has launched an investigation by the Lake County Sheriff’s Department.
Deputies were notified of the killing Saturday, but from the level of decomposition, the adult cow was likely killed Wednesday, said Dan Yonkin, Lake County undersheriff.
What is being described as a “non-natural”death occurred in the Valley View area, which is an area that is home to many cattle ranches in Lake County.
Some of the meat from the animal had been cut off and some of the organs removed.
A local veterinarian responded to the ranch to perform a necropsy on the animal, and samples collected from the necropsy were sent to a Colorado lab for further investigation.
“It’s an odd thing, and we initially suspected animal predation,” Yonkin said. “We’ve ruled that out, and now it appears at this time it is human caused.”
The cow was among a herd when the unusual killing took place.
Yonkin said the Sheriff’s Department is methodically going through the details of the incident and will continue to investigate until the answers to the mystery are found.
“Our concern is we don’t want to see more of these,” Yonkin said. “I wouldn’t want ranchers to be concerned every night when they go to bed that when they wake up their cows will have been killed in their pasture.”
Anyone with information about the cow death is encouraged to contact Crimestoppers at (406) 883-7309.
Ranchers experiencing any similar situations should contact the sheriff’s office.
I’m from the area where this cow was found. But it was said on the local news that there was no human or animal footprints where the cow was found, nor any blood anywhere. The local radio also stated that “even the world’s most sophisticated surgeon couldn’t remove the cows heart (and inner meat pieces) from this cow, without leaving any traces left…” (not even cut marks). Sounds like the news is shifting now. Idk, maybe they don’t want to scare the public-especially the farmers/ranchers. Or..as usual wanting to hide the truth.
Sounds like you need a Private and paranormal investigator at the same time.. Here I am. Henry founder of Louisville Paranormal Investigations and a former Private Investigator. I have a web site and I’m easy to find. call or email me. Thanks
