Is this correct, only 8?
<Louisiana has eight public livestock markets where producers can sell their livestock. Investigators say four of the eight livestock markets were targeted by the Thompsons.>
Maybe..
Miller Livestock in DeQuincy. (this one may be closed)
Kinder Livestock in Kinder La.
Red River Livestock in Coushatta La.
Dominiques in Opelousas La.
Dominiques in Baton Rouge La.
Mansura Livestock Barn in Mansura La.--I think the actual name is Avoyelles
Delhi Livestock Auction INC in Delhi La.
Amite Livestock Sales in Amite City La.
Fairchild Sales Inc in Kentwood La.
H & H Stockyard LLC in Thibideaux La.
Most are in South and SW La...there are none in North La?
Only 8 operating:
Dequincy Livestock in Dequincy, LA (under new management
Kinder Livestock in Kinder, LA (same man owns Mansura)
Mansura Livestock in Mansura LA
Dominiques in Opelousas La.
Dominiques in Baton Rouge La.
Red River Livestock in Coushatta La.
Delhi Livestock Auction INC in Delhi La.
Amite Livestock Sales in Amite City La. (Sale on Tuesday and Saturday. The Saturday sale was the Kentwood sale but they closed it and moved it to their Amite barn).
The Thompsons bought cattle and issued bad checks to pay the barns. They could make a market high, but if you don't pay for them what good is it. They had a nephew get to a couple of barns here in East Texas.
$1 million worth and, it happened over only about a 2month period.
"Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry Brand Commission said the thefts happened between August and October last year"
Sounds like a hot check crime to me as well.
