Cow thieves of all kinds.....

[Texan]

Be careful who you do business with.......


FORT WORTH — Inspectors with Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association have uncovered evidence in a $4 million cattle fraud involving producers in four states.

Monte J. Sharp, 45, of Hopeton, Okla., has been arrested on a Fugitive from Justice Warrant from Williamson County, Texas, where he has been charged with felony theft of 1061 head of cattle from Capitol Land and Cattle Co. in Schwertner, Texas.

The cattle, valued at nearly $700,000, were placed with Sharp for preconditioning at his lot near Alva, Okla.

Sharp is charged with illegally financing the cattle through Brookover Feed Yards in Garden City, Kan. He received a loan for 75 percent of their market value, secured by the future sale after they had been finished to market weight.

"Basically, he was financing cattle that didn't belong to him," explained TSCRA inspector Chad Barfknecht.

Sharp did this repeatedly, with victims as far away as North Carolina. "We have information that he has placed over 20,000 head of cattle in feedlots in Kansas and Oklahoma," Barfknecht added.

Owners of Forester Cattle Co. in Larue, Texas, claim Sharp sold 98 of their cattle, valued at $60,000. In Kentucky, he is charged with illegally financing 88 heifers worth about $59,000.

"We'll probably continue to discover new victims for several months," said TSCRA inspector Ben Eggleston. "Fact is, we still don't know how big this thing will end up being."

Went thru something similar here in Ohio few years back. Good old fashioned rustleing only done by cattle buyers thru the sale barn. Put Producers Livestock in bankruptcy over the deal.

Do these people really think no one will notice? Why steal a few head when you can steal 1000 I guess. The people that these clowns steal from should be allowed to beat them with sticks. Even more so because it's not likely the restitution will ever be paid. There's a guy I know of that pulled a similar stunt for about $450,000 a few years back, he spent a year or so at Club Fed, now he walks around like nothing ever happened.
The really sad part is a lot of the local citizens act like it never happened too.

That's classic thief behavior. He started small - testing the waters. When he figured out the loopholes in the system, he went big time.
