The article reports on several 2001 Montana cattle mutilation incidents.
Four of the cattle mutilation incidents are reported
on in detail. All these mutilations occurred in the area between the towns of
Dupuyer, Valier and Conrad (Pondera
County ).
The following farmers/ranchers experienced cattle
mutilations: Glen and Ruby Bouma, Conrad area farm, late October 2001; Everett
King, Valier area ranch, October 2001; New Miamy Colony, located 29 kilometres (18 miles west) of Conrad,
October 2001; Jim VandenBos, Valier area ranch, September 2001.
Quote from the article:
“Ranchers reported four mutilations between June and
August (2001). Since then, there have been 11 more, and investigators are still
searching for answers.
The mutilations went away on the ‘90s but began again
this summer.
Also strange is that in most cases, no tracks or
footprints were detected around the animals’ bodies, even in mud or snow.”
