More cows missing near Hume

On April 29, 2019 a Deputy took another report of stolen cattle in the Hume area. The victim stated that on 4/27/19 he received a call from his neighbor saying his gate was open and his cows had gotten out. The victim then went to his property and got all of the cattle back in the field and shut the gate. On 4/28/19 he returned to the property to inventory the cattle and found that 5 cows were missing. He spoke with his neighbors and nobody had seen the cattle. The victim believes the cattle to have been stolen due to not being able to find them and the calves would be crying if the cows were nearby.

The victim described the missing cattle to be 2 full grown red Angus cows with yellow ear tags and 3 red Angus calves missing. He valued them to be around $5200.00.
