[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1656435, member: 498"] I think there are basically 4 kinds of cattle thieves. The first is the neighbor who doesn't overtly steal the cows. But if one gets into their field they just keep it and keep their mouth shut. They make no move to change any identification that way if they get caught they can claim they didn't know your cow was there. The second is the one who wants money now. They will haul it to the sale or other means of selling right away. They most like don't have a place to hold any cows. The third is the ones selling meat. Most of the time they butcher the cattle right out in the pasture. They pick remote pastures. And are difficult to catch unless caught in the act. The fourth are the real pro's. They know how to handle cattle. They take large quantities. They most likely know how to slip across state lines. Possibly multiple states. They have their own pastures, registered brand, and buy and sell cattle. The ones they steal are branded in another state and mixed in with ones they bought which most likely have their own brand and the brand of the original seller. Nobody is keeping count on them buying 2 and selling 3. [/QUOTE]
